I've completed the final touches to my annual Christmastown. First up, the scene at the mantel. A blanket of snow has covered the floor. But, who are the inhabitants this year? Let's go in for a closer look.
Looks like a neighborhood of Santas have sprung up, to the right of the Nativity Scene. One is Scottish, that's apparent from his kilt, but where do the others hail from? Maybe the Santa Claus in the plane just flew in from the North Pole. I'll have to keep on eye on this block, for any new developments that occur. Let's call it Santaville.
I see The Simpsons of Springfield have settled in for the holidays, bringing friends with them to the party. Bart is looking particularly angelic this year, while Barney looks a little worse for the wear. I guess we know who's been Naughty and who's been Nice! Chief Wiggum seems unconcerned, even though Ralphie eats paste straight from the jar. The garden gnomes enjoy fresh powder from a new snowfall. Feisty as always.
Lots of fun, colorful lights twinkle with holiday cheer...
...and angels came down to land atop the mantel, near the CD player. We sing along to Christmas carols. My favorite is from Lou Rawls: http://www.amazon.com/Have-Yourself-Merry-Little-Christmas/dp/B000TE5BZQ
As fun as Christmas village can be ( Barney gets a little rowdy ) , nothing tops the beauty of a decorated tree, except maybe an angel. Even the coziest of dens can be decked out for the holidays.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!
