2014 Claires Christmas Village

Our 3-1/2 year old granddaughter this year announced that this was HER Christmas Village, hence the name. Claire’s Christmas Village display features Department 56 Original Snow Village, St. Nicholas Square, JWM Collection, Lemax and Carole Towne, Coca Cola Town Square, Hawthorne Village, and numerous other brands for the buildings and animated accessories, all blended to achieve the desired effect. The trolley is a Bachmann On30 streetcar set with additional pieces of track. The animated cars are Lemax Classic Car Set (retired 2001) with additional roadway pieces. The video and still pictures were shot with a Casio Exlim EX-FH20 and an iPhone 4. It’s amazing that Windows Movie Maker comes installed with Office.
