Rebecca LOVES to decorate for Christmas.  She started her winter village several years ago and has added to it every year. 

Whatever happens to be lying on the table on the day after Thanksgiving (that's when we do our Christmas decorating) is stuck until New Year's Day when all of the decorations are taken down.

This year's addition included a very cool bare-branch tree that has fiber optic lighting like it's decorated for the holidays and a Cobbler's Shop.  Papa bought her these for her birthday.  The two of them went to a hardware store where there was a LARGE selection of village bits and after a couple of hours of anguished debate she brought home her treasures. 

She even throws in bits of whimsy like this airplane wreck on the ski slope. 

Next year she would like to add a train encircling the village (preferably one that actually moves and smokes and all that) and she would also like a larger table!
