Kathy's 2013 Christmas Village Very Detailed A Must See 

I never seen a christmas village with cars before so this is cool

I love the old cars!

You have many things I've never even seen before with other displays. I enjoyed this! Thank you. An impressive collection!

Wonderful ....Thank you for sharing.

All I know is I want to live here! So Beautiful

There are many Christmas villages on RU-vid, but this is one of the best! Love the music too.

Hello!! WOW...where do I even begin....WOW...again W to the O to the W is all I can say!!!!! Last year I started my first ever Christmas Village at my office in remembrance and to honor my Mother...she LOVED Christmas Village Displays!!! My Mother passed away in 2012 from Cancer. In remembrance to her...here at the office on Christmas time...I decorate my reception area with a Christmas tree with plenty of ornaments as she LOVED a Christmas tree with lots of lights and ornaments on it....and last year, I did a Christmas Village....it was only 7 buildings last year. It was my very first time!!! There was a Hallmark store near my home and they were going out of business and they were selling all their items and village items at 50% to 70% off....so BAM...I got hooked and decided to do it and it was VERY SPECIAL and A LOT OF FUN I must say!!! I collect DICKENS VILLAGE and this year...YES...this year it went from 7 Christmas buildings last year...to now.....a grand total of 42 Christmas Village buildings of Dickens Village. My goal..MY GOAL is to put all 42 on a BIG Christmas Village Platform at my office..if possible. It is very addicting and a VERY fascinating hobby I must say...I will say this much...for my Mother....she is ABSOLUTELY worth it...NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!! One problem I am having is to find a Christmas Village Platform that can hold 42 Dickens Village Buildings for this Christmas season. IF ANYONE can help me out there...please give me some advice...YES...I do have plenty of accessories/trees as well in terms of people, carriages, trees, BIG Christmas Tree.....I want to make this Christmas Village be THE BEST and MOST SPECIAL for my Mother to be smiling from Heaven above....can anyone out there give me any suggestions. I have checked on line...and there is one man who said he can design and make a Christmas Village Platform that will hold all my buildings and will cost $600.00 dollars plus shipping to send to me here in Dallas, Texas. Is that a realistic and fair price for a platform of that big and kind. This village display you have made....WOW....all I can say is that whoever sees this...that individual along with others will ALL have smiles....I just hope one day I can come close to the magic you have created....wow... SIMPLY FANTASTIC!!! Cheers, Sanjeev Sharma Dallas, Texas

OMG! I love this so much, I had started building and adding to my village, had to put things in storage. Things I had for 20 yrs, all stolen, broke my heart. It would take forever to replace everything I had, but I still miss my village. Your village is the best I've seen yet.

I've been searching for those cars. I love them. Out standing!! Staged beautifully.

Que nostalgia...me recuerda mi niñez,unas navidades sin regalos,sin madre...como quisiera tener algo parecido a esto,amo la navidad.

Love your village, wonderful job.

The cars and track are the Lemax Roadway set. I found mine on EBAY. They don't come up very often though. If you find one, it is worth getting extra curved pieces with it. Other slot car sets might be something to look into.

Your Village is Beautiful I have been doing the same thing for awhile now, but I built my villages out of boxes and my people are carved out of wood I use mirrors and Christmas lights for inside the houses and stores but yours looks better then mine. So thank you for some ideas on what I can do next.

well done Kathy. love all the movements in the village. it is so alive. happy new year to you all

Kathy, beautiful as usual. I like the tin man in the UFO area.

Very Beautiful and Love the Music ★★★★★

Reading all the comment here. I think crowded is good. Just as long as it is thought out. I'm pretty sure crowded village just takes a little bit longer that's all. I'll say it again. AWESOME display.

Awesome village!

Thank you! I have had to be very creative in where I pick up pieces. Only a small percentage were actually bought full retail. I use Ebay, Facebook sales and shopgoodwilll.

Amazing job! You have so many pieces that I want lol

Must of been a lot of work put into this beautiful 🤩

that is a beautiful village! great job

Very cool Looks a lot my village my goal is to get it bigger I also do a Victorian one so it depends on the year still go job

I couldnt find it anywhere online so far.... But Ill keep looking.. hope to add that to my set for next year :-)

This a stunning set up. Thank you for sharing. I do a Halloween display and get a lot of ideas from looking at the Christmas displays posted on RU-vid....it makes me think outside the box. I have the Lemax track cars and they add a lot to the display...I have issues keeping them running. Any hints as to what I may be doing wrong? They will travel around the track for a bit then stop...a little push gets them going again but not for long. Again, thank you for sharing. I am hoping I will be able to post my village for 2016.

Wow

Lindo. Parabéns. Brasil, Rio de Janeiro

First i wanted to say AMAZING job.. It shows this is a labor of love and the countless hours of work you have put into this.... I was wondering if you could share how you got the "cars" to be moving? is that a set or track? etc?? I put together this year. for the first time, a Disney Christmas Village and would love to add movement of vehicles and buses to mine as well.

I just love your village videos! I am a new collector, this will be my 2nd year collecting. It all started with the "Original Snow Village: Gothic Farmhouse," I bought at the Goodwill for 14.99 last year. As you know, these are addicting, but I love doing it! Watching your video gives me ideas. I also have limited space, and I like how you incorporated non-expensive items. It's awesome how you uploaded videos so your hard work, time and of course money can be appreciated! How long have you been collecting?

Que maravilla!! muy bonita

👍

I also do an Easter and Halloween village I hunt for these house on eBay and thirty shopper

would you be willing to share where you found your car track?

I just put up a time-lapse video of our village being setup. I really like this one though! Great Job. Is this still being set up in 2015?

Such a beautiful village. You are very creative and the music you used is so soothing. Could you please tell me the name of the piece at 12:23, the woman in the pink bath robe with the kid on the bike? Thank you for sharing.

I love it, it's amazing everything you do I also put these models from Spain, but almost everything from the lemax brand because to Europe almost nothing comes from depto 56 ... I would love to know if you can tell me where I can buy that circuit of cars and especially that UFO that I find wonderful. Thank you

Are they all for sale but

There's certainly a lot of detail in your village; how many years did it take to reach that level? Also, I think the key to a good village is being timeless...so with that in mind, I would personally avoid any brand names. Having a gas station, for example, is a good thing - just don't have it be Texaco or Phillips 66. By the same token, a coffee shop is also good, but don't have it be a Starbucks. Brand names tend to date things, so unless you're aiming to recreate a certain historical period, I'd avoid using them.

How are they moving?

Christmas village??? ...more like Christmas city.
