Inexpensive Christmas Village


I put up Maddy's pink Christmas tree last night. I love this time of year so much! I love looking at her little collection of Hallmark Christmas ornaments that we have collected so far! I want to start a collection of Christmas villages also but with each one being around $20; I would be scared for her to touch them plus it would take years before she even had a street let alone village! I found a whole 61 piece village from Dollar Tree online. (you can't get the whole collection in the stores)
The $36 collection consists of~
12 Porcelain Village Buildings:
School, Post Office, Fire Station, 3 Houses, 2 Churches, Toy Shop, Country Hotel, Chapel, and Restaurant
4 Resin Decorated Structures:
"Merry Christmas" Arch, Fence, Crossing Bridge, Gazebo
6 Resin Scenic Bases with People:Ice Skaters, Family Decorating Christmas Tree, Choir, Horse-Drawn Carriage, Kids with Snowpeople, Children Building Snowman
4 Packs of Trees:·
2 Snow-Capped Full Pines· 2 Green Full Pines· 2 Snow-White Full Pines· 2 Green Cone-Shaped Pines
10 Packs of Resin People and Accessories (1¼ - 2¾" tall):·
7 Packs of Various People, 3 people per pack·
4 Lamp Posts· 2 Street Lights, 1 Fire Hydrant· 2 Decorated Gates, 1 Christmas Tree
Of course it doesn't have the detailed craftmanship of the more expensive ones however, Madison can actually have the whole village displayed in her room and she can actually touch it and if something happens to one....no big deal.
