12.18.2007 :: It takes a village..
Every year I have a bit of fun populating our Christmas village, Hurleyville to the fam!
What town can be complete without a jump roping Priest? He goes along with the bird feeding Nun.
I then concentrated on animals.
Bunnies:
Squirrels and sheep:
A couple of moooooose:
You know, with all of the building up, the wildlife is coming into the cities. It's no different here in the Village.
A village gnome?
Got you covered!

Tonight I am continuing to nurture my inner Christmas spirit (not the scroogey one, the Christmasy one) when I bake some cookies for my annual cookie tray for work, hang some baubles on the tree (it stands with it's lights and no adornment as we speak) and start my annual reading of A Christmas Carol.
Because honestly, it's not Christmas until you eat a cookie or two, read the Christmas Carol and light up a village.
Or at least in my world it's not!

I NEED to get that jumping priest for my brother and sister in law. Any ideas where I could find one?

Definitely with you on the cookies. And the holiday specials on tv are my version of A Christmas Carol.

Oh man! You are making me feel guilty about not putting up my village this year. Yours is way better, I have to say, but mine is cute. Needs more people and animals. Next year, I hope.

LOVE the jump-roping priest. AND the gnome. Yay for cookies. Oooph, I ate too many of those pastries today. But I'll eat more tomorrow -- don't fret! 'tis the season! :)
