Christmas Village Display - How To Set Up A Christmas Village - Christmas Decorating 

So beautiful and a feast for the eyes!!!!

Thank u for this idea I have so many light houses and didnt think to do it like this I love it

I'll be honest, I was a little doubtful about how the books would look when you first showed them. But the final result is beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous! I've never displayed all my pieces because I couldn't figure out how to do it. Thanks to you...I think I can do this. Thank you!!

What a beautiful, cozy village! Thanks for sharing! 🎄

This display looks really cozy

Yours is the best Christmas Town. I enjoyed the music and video very much. Great job! 🎄☃️❄

Le ha quedado muy bello. Hay mucha delicadeza en su trabajo. Un cordial saludo desde Mataro-Barcelona España

Outstanding! I was a little skeptical at first but you did a fantastic job.

I love the fact that you left the books exposed! Beautiful!!!

I always add my Dickens books in with my Dickens Village collection. Your display is very pretty and elegant. Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Wonderful!!!!!!!!! I love it,bravo!!!!!!

Exquisite! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talents!

Hi Christopher. That came out so beautiful! Love using the books and the 5 light bulb cords! I enjoyed watching you bring this village to life! XOXO

Congratulations it was beautiful wonderful

What an awesome set-up!! Thank you for sharing!!

Oh, this is so beautiful! I have about the same number of pieces as you and would love to display them similarly, rather than spread them out over a large area. This will be my first year displaying them -- I picked up a few on sale last year and now I'm searching for ways to display using a smaller footprint! Thank you for the inspiration!

L👀ks beautiful! Great idea👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼! Thank You for sharing.💞

It hasn’t even been Halloween and I’m already watching Christmas mini villages videos 😂

Love your tutorials!

Sooo cute😊

Molto bello bravo

Beautiful

Chris, it’s so beautiful you are so talented!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Perfeito

You did a nice job I just wish you would have coverd up the books

Favoloso!

Its very pretty........but no way...lol I prefer the cotton matting!

Bello. ... hermoso, eres grandioso.

What kind of cord did you have that stretched that many houses can you order that on Amazon that has several lightbulbs to put in village houses? Thank you loved your video so much

Oh wow, love how you made the whole thing looked so easy and entertaining. Your collection is AMAZING! The final outcome is so magical and breathtaking. Focusing them up close makes them come alive as if I am peeking through the windows of a Victorian town. Oh, and love how you used the books for elevation. Thanks so much for sharing your talent. I'm so inspired now to set up my small village mantle. I will share this and probably watch it dozens of times more because it was so heartwarming! Have a merry holiday! Hugs~ Josie :)

Magnifique !!!!!!!!!!!!😍😘

me encantó

Love it OMG amazing

Te quedo hermoso

Gracias

You've just become my best friend 😍😍😍

This display was pretty, but it was missing people! Otherwise it looked good!

Спасибо за маленькую сказку

Absolutely love your idea! Thank you so much for helping me, my dad collected and displayed before he passed away and now I have a new way to keep his hobby and my memories alive with all his houses! Also, what is the name of the song at 4:52, when you begin adding snow? LOVE IT.

Where can I find this setup, I liked it a lot reminds me of my childhood n dacorating with my nana

Beautiful! Where do you get the Christmas houses they are very nice? What type of lights are those and where do you put them in the houses?

😍😍🤗

Do you like dollhouses at all?

💫😍♥️✨🎄

Some lady was gaveing her village away and some was broke I wish I new how to save the brock ones help

Halo Christoph...do you know how to set up a christmas ornaments Spinner ? I bough the Spinner from Amazon, but dont know how to set it up to my christmas tree. Need help.

come be my houseboi !!!!!

Looks nice, but I don't really like the books. Other than that it's pretty!

Oh my GOSH! That is gorgeous! I loved your book stacks and the fact that you staggered them some so that the snow would be on different levels. This is one of the prettiest displays I’ve seen. I’m doing my first Village this year 2020. I’m so excited! Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful!

Beautiful!

Beautiful!

I was skeptical when I realized you didn’t have a white blanket to cover the books, but I was wrong ! It is so pretty!

Who are these weird people who click "dislike"? What's not to like?

Your village is beautiful! You have inspired me to put mine out this year; hasn’t been out for years sadly.

My mantle is 20 feet long , wall to wall, above my fireplace (built with my village in mind when we built the house)...and has built- in outlets for light cords, I have about 30 large scale houses...love villages!

Oh my goodness! I love it! You are so creative. I haven't seen anyone using books for Christmas village. You are a genius 🤗😘

I am doing a forehead slap on myself right now! I put my village display on a bookcase. I take all the books off, struggle with finding somewhere to store them for the season, and then set up the village. Now, thanks to you, I can keep some of the heavier, larger books out and use them in the display to create different heights. Genius! So happy I came across your video.

Really beautiful. I could NEVER use the snow as I have 3 cats that "own everything" and would evict the village people upon close inspection! lol

Just when I thought I had seen every way of setting up a village, I found something new. I LOVE your ideas!!! I have had my village for about 20 years, and although I enjoy it (or I wouldn't keep putting it up) I have never LOVED it. It is so time-consuming, and it always looks messy. I am heading to the thrift store right now to buy some old books. Such a classy look, and so much easier than the clunky ways I have tried to give it different heights. Great job!

I loved everything about this video. You’re a true artist, it was almost like watching you painting a picture.

I almost cry at the end of the video, so beautiful I love your work

Loved it Christopher. Its very pretty. Never thought about use the books as platform. Cool. :)

It's beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍 i like the decoration... Me encanto tu decoracion, saludos desde Culiacán Sinaloa México.... 🤗😊

Bravo!!!! I love this. Yesterday I stopped into an antique mall near where I live. There was a vintage antique Putz Christmas Village. I bought about $200.00 worth of it which included a lot of the buildings and bottle brush trees. I plan on going back in there and buying a few more pieces as he had them scattered all around the store. My Great Aunt had a big set of the Putz. I had completely forgotten about them until I saw the village display. I just hope I can make it look half as good as your village looks. I like the idea of the snow. I am not sure about the snow though I have 2 cats. Because of them I almost didn't buy any of it, but I hope they will look at it and then leave it alone. Thanks for the ideas. Even though my buildings are a lot smaller than yours and made out of different stuff they hopefully will look as good.

Beautiful display. Im working on my two display areas this weekend, center Island and center dinner table 😮 wish me luck!

Absolutely beautiful! I recently started to place my frames on top of old books to add different heights and interest. I love how you randomly placed the small sleighs, the idea of placing a train with a few tracks, and using trees to cover cables. Love everything you did here! Thank you for another great video! It is such a treat to watch your videos, thank you Christopher!

Man do you have the touch. I really thought it would look bad with the books but in the end the books stole the show.....

I refer back to this year after year. Thanks for such a great video! And Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🎄🎅🦌🔔

I’ve been doing these for years, good idea with the books...

Ooooh myyyy Gawwwd, your home is gorgeous. All that beautiful brown natural wood 😍😍

Great way to display a collection without a long expanse of space. Wasn't sure about the books, until the snow was added. Beautiful and so creative. I suppose choosing books with pleasing covers is important. Great job!

I’m patient but this drove me a little loopy and I don’t think it’s worth the effort ..... then the end result.... WOW.... 🤗🤗🤗 So worth it. It’s looks magical 👍🏻👍🏻 You made it look easy xx well done🎉

Oh, how absolutely beautiful. It all came to life when you added the snow. So so beautiful. You are so creative! I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next. Tfs 🤗

Very nice...my snow scene is 28 feet long..I always put either a sheet or a snow drape down first so everything is white then I sprinkle chunky glitter...clean up is much easier because you can roll up the glitter with the sheet or snow drape and throw the glitter away...unless you want to save it for the next year. I like raising the houses up on books but there again I would cover it with snow drape....Thank you for sharing you did a lovely job...keep collecting items as some will be hard to find later in years to come.

Thank you! I watch this at the end of June...but I have had a terrible, terrible night...and this helped to cheer me up. I'm stunned the books worked so well! Brilliant! You did a wonderful job. I hope you don't mind my saying you are a very handsome young man!
