Hehe!

Today's post isn't going to be AJ related, but I think you guys will like it.

A little tradition me and my mom have on halloween, is since we don't celebrate it, we put up our Christmas village! So I decided I'd post up some pictures of that. ^.^

Let's goooo!

At our old house, we had a fireplace that had a mantel above it, but our new house doesn't have that. But we did buy two ladder bookcases, so we decided we'd put our village on that. Let me just say- a mantel is a lot easier to decorate, hehe!

We had the houses that don't light up, and the light up houses separated. This is the photo I got of the houses that don't light up. I didn't get a photo of the ones that do light up, oopsy. 😆

Random nutcracker picture, hehe!

After we got all the light up houses plugged in, this is what it looked like. O.O Do any of you guys have parents that are electricians? Is this safe? o.O

Here's the finished product! This is the bookcase on the left. Mom covered up the wire mess with some Christmas boxes- unfortunately I don't think there's anything in them. If only there was a We Are Messengers shirt in there. *Sighhhh*

And here's the bookcase on the right!

I took pictures of each shelf, so you can see the houses more clearly. Here's the houses on the left bookcase,

And here's the houses on the right bookcase,

*I dunno if dad liked how the tea room is right next to the coffee shop XD*

Here's some closeups of my favorite houses,

Our Jo-Ann craft store! I love craft stores, especially Michaels. XD

Kringles Café! We're had this piece as long as I can remember. I love it.

A new piece from my nana! She doesn't do a Christmas village anymore, so she gave us her old houses. I think this one is so cute! Looks like a little court house. XD

Another new piece from my nana! This is the terrace tea room I believe it's called. I love how you can see inside the little tea room off the side of the building.

Person serving someone tea. 😜

My mom also put out some decorations on our DVD case! Here they are,

Our Nativity set! Uh- mom? I think that dude holding a lamb is the shepherd- just sayin'. Heh heh.

*Seriously wants to go fix that now*

A bigger nutcracker that we have!

I uh-

Don't know what this is called

I think it's a German Christmas thing though..

I think my parents got it when they went to Germany

I think?

Anyways, I remember I liked messing around with this when I was little, because when you move the paddles the people move!

I hope you enjoyed today's post! Which house do you like the best? ^.^

Don't be fooled by those who say such things, for "bad company corrupts good character."
