Yes. You read the title correctly. Following are pictures of our Christmas last year, 2016, even though today is the last day of 2017. You see, I failed to post them last year, but after all that time spent taking the pictures and editing them, I didn't want them to go unseen.
If you know me, you know I love Christmas. So does my husband. One reason I knew he was the man for me was our first year together; the look on his face when I set up my Dickens Christmas village. He loved it, and every year since then we have added to it.

I don't quite know when we will stop adding. I don't want to be the person that lets their village take over an entire room (though I love looking at other people's massive collections)...
...and I have let Christmas take over my whole house. 😆

Please notice below the two amazing quilted pillows in the chairs, made by my sister for my husband.
...and Legos. Did I mention how much my husband likes Legos?
Below is our 2016 Christmas village.
Notice how much it has grown since the 2011 photo at the top of this post.
Well, it's even larger this year. Maybe by next year I will post a photo.
The lace trim on the village's platform was made on a previous Christmas gift, the silhouette cameo. Love that machine. (They are not paying me to say that. I just really do love it.)
The nativity scene below. Figures were bought at Costco years ago, and the stable and manger were made by my talented Dad.
Can't forget the Christmas dog, Mollie.
And finally, those precious penguins accompanied by the angel and Christmas trees, made by my Dad, which I posted about here.
Thank you for visiting, and may your New Year be happy, healthy, peaceful and bright.
🎉🍸
