    *"Village"??*
    *More like a city, LOL! It is just lovely - I want to shrink down into it and walk every nook and cranny :>) Have always loved the warm glow of Christmas village buildings and started to make a collection some years ago. The collection is getting bigger and when our attic is converted, that is where I plan to erect it; though I will stick to the village size, as I can't be taking up too much attic space, lol.*
    *They are fairly costly and I couldn't believe it when I saw all the boxes being carried in at start of your video...That must have run into thousands!? I usually get them at 50-75% off running up to the Christmas every year in Woodies DIY store, here in Ireland. Because of this, I have been able to purchase extra items each year. I should be able to put together a good size village in the next few years, and I don't mind, as I currently enjoy having them placed around in our living room and kitchen every Christmas.*
    *Anyway, your CITY is a joy to look at :>)*
    *Cheers!!*

    This is so unbelievably impressive, I am in awe and can barely formulate a thought. My wife and I spend about 15 hours every year building a village. And it's cozy. But it's nothing. What you have built is a metropolis. More important, the level of detail and the thought put into the layout is extraordinary. This is the Hall of Fame right here. The GoAt. Congratulations. I have some work to do.

    I just goggle ideas for doing a layout for my department56 village and came across this. I haven't put mind out for a few years and the thought of all the work involved in the set up made me want to back out again but when I saw this I just laughed. I don't have nearly a collection as big as this so I thought if she can do it so can I. I am amazed at how big her village is....that's a lot time and money...that's for sure. I am inspired to keep adding to my collection and improving my presentation. Thanks for sharing your wonderful display. Absolutely beautiful and amazing. Merry Christmas!

I hope that you would consider making another video next year because this one was so enjoyable. I would love to see the village from all angles. If you ever have time to show how you built the supports, that would be great.--- Don, you are very sweet to put in so much work and time to create this Christmas world.

    Each year at Christmas, my dad and I would create an HO train display. Mom passed away in 2004 and dad passed in December of 2013. Watching Nancy brings back fond memories of my youth.
    People could drive by your home and never know the enchanting miniature world that Nancy creates at Christmas. Thanks for sharing something special - your creative aspirations and and dreams!
