Christmas Village

Several years ago, a neighbor graciously gave me a Christmas Village set that she bought at an auction.  It fits perfectly in my big bay window.  This year I added two houses, some action figures, and extra home lights.    Here is a view of it at night:
Another night view

Here are some close ups of some of the buildings:
The mailman was a gift from Harold this year.
Aren't these little raccoons adorable?  They are raiding the trash cans by the bakery. Harold gave me this addition also this year. 
The building on the right is one of the ones I added this year.  I found it for 50 cents at a rummage sale.
The building on the far left is another new addition.

Last year my grandson Jeffrey had such a good time looking at the buildings in the village.  He would sit and ponder each building, and we played a game making up stories about what each building was about.   I hope to add a few more figures each year.  I only have room on the window sill for one more building, maybe two, if I crowd things together.   It sure does brighten up the living room!

Cozy setup, I like it!!
Do you still have the ceramic houses that I bought in England?

Yes, and it's in the 4th photo down. The counting house. The other houses were not ceramic and I still do have them.
