Village Archives - Stylish Revamp

I am continuing my Christmas Home Tour with Christmas in the City. This is our Christmas in the City Village by Department 56 that we set up each year under our tree in the Sunroom. It is such a magical scene. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

We set it up in our Sunroom which is one of the most used rooms in our home. It is a cozy comfortable room that you can see here.

This is something my husband does for me and the Gman. It is a lot of work setting this scene up under the tree. He also adds his Lionel Train around the village. Again, for me it is creating memories for my boys in the story telling about our childhood Christmases. The train was a gift my husband’s father gave him and his brothers for Christmas when they were children.

The other special Christmas tradition we do is decorate our feather trees with our personalized snowmen ornaments.

It is a special way to remember each person in our family from the loved ones that are no longer with us and the new member that we have recently welcomed to the family.

We are getting very excited to celebrate Christmas. Today is the last day of school for my youngest. Tonight we are going to finish our baking and finally tackle the GingerBread House.

Tomorrow I will be sharing a few pictures of our outside decorations.

Until Next Time,

When I was growing up, my mom would put a village under the Christmas Tree every year. I would lay under the tree and wish that I could live in that little village. The village had ice skaters on the pond, carolers singing and children sled riding. It was just magical.

When I got married I wanted to start that same tradition in our home. My husband bought me my first village piece on our 2nd Christmas together as a married couple and has added many pieces since then. For the past two years, he has been doing the village for me with our youngest. He has added the Lionel Train that his dad got for him and his brothers for Christmas when they were little. I hope these are memories my children will share with their future children.

Welcome to our Christmas in the City!
