Welcome to Christmas Town!

Many years ago, when Rite Aide was Thriftys, I would go in the day after Christmas and check out all of the great clearance deals on Christmas decorations.  Thats when I bought my first house....a painted ceramic Clock Shop.  It was on 70% off and I think I paid $5 for it.  I took it home and wrapped it up with the rest of my Christmas decorations, and when I opened it the next year, the day after Thanksgiving, it was like getting a gift.

That year I went back again to Thriftys and picked up another house, this time a Bakery, plus some tiny people, because you can't have a town without people.

So, the town has grown over the years.  I remember when they got electricity.  That was exciting.  Of course, not everyone has that modern convenience, only the ones who can afford it. 

More people have moved to Christmas Town in the last twenty or so years.  They now have a General Store, a School House, an Old Rock Church, and a Cafe, in addition to a Farm House, which is out in the country of course, and a Mansion in town, which is where the mayor of Christmas Town lives.

Since the town has grown so much, it had to spread out.  Here are some pictures, in three different areas.

In addition to Christmas town, I decorate with some vases and glasses that I've picked up over the years.
I put crepe paper, rolled up, inside the glasses, and it looks like a red rose.
I love the Christmas Season!
