Start Here for Christmas Village Display Ideas
If you keep an eye on Christmas all year long, then this site is for you. We recommend some great books on designing village displays as well as our own eight guide series on creating your own village scenery.
But visitors beware...displaying villages from Department 56, Thomas Kinkade, Hawthorn or Lemax is an addiction that has hooked many!

Thomas Kinkaid Villages and Collectibles
For
no fuss tabletop decorating, I recommend
Thomas Kinkade Christmas
items. You still get the lighted village look, without all the work of
setting up individual pieces.
Disney Christmas Villages
I
found this surprisingly cute Disney Christmas
collectible village with Mickey and all the best-loved characters from
Disney classic stories. The village has a D56 feel to it, including lights.
