A Stroll Through the Village

One of my favorite houses is this little Bungalow

It's so pretty, and nicely decorated.  On the left you can almost see the snowman that the kids just built and there's a cardinal singing in the tree overhead.

Of course we have a wood carver. You  can see the shavings underneath his feet along with the treasures he has already carved on the table behind him.  I think Jim would love to have the opportunity to do this -- although he would prefer flip flops over snow boots.

Behind the wood carver is a stack of logs that I imagine he uses to heat his house, which is this adorable log and stone cabin.  I love the birdhouses, the birdbath and the little gnome in the front yard. 

Here is Santa and Mommy.  They dance around the living room to 'I saw Mommy kissing Santa Clause'. 

And this the where Santa nd Mrs. Clause relax in front of the fire.  I love the detail inside the house.  There's a mantle that's all decorated with greenery, candles and stockings, as well as a fire in the fireplace.  So comfy and inviting.

 At the Christmas Tree Lot there is a fundraiser going on and a Dad and son have just picked out their tree and are hauling it home in their little red wagon.

No doubt they'll pass the BBQ joint.  Maybe even stop in for lunch.  There's nothing like a meat and three to draw you in! Andy bought us this house, I think the first year we live in Tennessee.  A worthy addition to the village!

And of course we have Santa!!

He's at the train station welcoming everyone because there's no place like home for the holidays!!

Merry Christmas!
