Do you get overwhelmed by your neighbors’ mind-blowing light shows every year? Are you depressed because, no matter how hard you try, those people with the insane better-than-you genes always trump your pitiful attempts to spiff up your house at Christmastime? Well, cheer up. Here’s a photo of what some I’m-Not-Gonna-Take-This-Anymore type did to stop the crazy house decorating competitions. Now, no matter what your neighbor pulls, you’ll be right there with him. And remember to smile – it’s the Holidays!

Lang & Wise Christmas Eve Village

While going through my stash of Christmas village stuff, I ran across a box of resin evergreen trees that I’d never used in a display before. They are a set of 6 small evergreen trees, absolutely beautifully done, that are part of the Lang & Wise Folk Art Villages collection. These creations are the work of artist Linda Nelson Stocks, and they really are quite special. I’d bought them because I liked the look, especially the fact that they don’t have snow on them. Makes them great for use in other kinds of villages besides Christmas Villages!

Linda Nelson Stocks is an artist who grew up on the family farm in Illinois. Her village pieces have that homey, folk-art look that gives her village a very nostalgic feel. There are lots of farm carts, sleighs, and animals, and you can build a wonderful farm display out of these pieces, no matter what brand of village you have. The houses are lit, and similar in size to the Department 56 line. In addition to the Christmas Eve village, there is also a Colonial Williamsburg Village that with very little effort and some imagination you could create a whole new Christmas Village!

Or you could do like many collectors, and mix and match as they find pieces that please them. Remember, this is ALL fantasy, and you can build whatever you like!

The whole world looks forward for the Christmas season, as it brings with it the promise that a New Year is not far behind. The first of December marks the beginning of Christmas celebrations for many people.

The very thought of Christmas reminds us of the cake, the Christmas tree, Santa Claus and the Christmas decorations. Christmas trees, Christmas wreaths, and stars are an integral part of Christmas.

Children and elders normally get busy with their planning right from the last week of November. Christmas decorations can be simple with a Christmas tree, star, and wreath.

Christmas decorations can either be done indoors or outdoors. The Santa Christmas scene and the Victorian street scene are some of the themes that will make your indoor decorations look rich. Candy canes, starbursts, lighted Christmas signs, and other things are used for outdoor decorations.

Christmas trees are available for various price ranges. You can choose the one that best suits your budget. Christmas trees are usually decorated using garlands, swirls, ornaments, pine cones, bells, and stars. Fake snowflakes can be sprinkled on the Christmas tree to add a touch of reality. Snow machines are commonly used to make these snowflakes. You can also use cotton swabs as snowflakes too.

Christmas bows can be used to affix the Christmas garland on the tree. The bows may be of velvet or polyester. The bows offer a neat look wherever they may be attached.

Christmas stars that are hung to signify the birth of Christ are available in different materials and sizes. There are good collections of Christmas wreaths available too. Giant-sized wreaths are also available. The wreaths can also be decorated.

Animated Christmas decorations are greatly admired by everyone. Horse and carriage, waving Santa, riverboats, etc are some of the animated decorations.

Lighting is one of the main aspects of any decoration and tend to provide any scene with a rich facelift. Christmas light bulbs, light strings, mini lights, and LEDs are generally used for Christmas decorations.

Though these are decorative items that are generally involved with Christmas decorations, you, with your creativity and thoughtfulness can design your Christmas decorations as per your taste and likings.
