RE: Decorating For The Holidays - Part 4 The Christmas Village
I'm a big fan of Christmas Villages! I always loved it as a kid when my Mom would buy a new building each year and set up the village on a big display table in our living room. But since moving to Japan as an adult, it's sadly difficult to obtain the pieces to carry on the tradition.
I love the pics, looks like you've got a great collection!
Thank you @cryptomancer I do love the village and have added to it over the years when I find a piece that is in scale. I am not surprised it would be hard to find some in Japan, not exactly their style. I visited there years ago when my son was stationed there. I had a wonderful time getting to know the locals. Happy Holidays
What part of Japan did you visit? I live in Tokyo which is a wonderfully convenient city, but I do miss some of the traditions from back home. Like having a real Christmas tree. Got to make do with a plastic one here.
Hi @cryptomancer
I was in Yokuska, not sure if that is how you spell it. My youngest son was at the Naval base there for 3 years. I spent 10 days there with him, it was an amazing place to visit. I loved the people and the countryside.
I see. Yeah, I hear about the Yokosuka base in the news from time to time. I bet it's a pretty good place to be stationed. Glad you enjoyed your visit!
