Some years I do a tree, some years I don't. This is a no tree year. However, not to be left without some seasonal cheer--my Winter Village/North Pole display is now too large to fit on the fireplace mantle!
Winter Village - North Pole - Arctica - Earth - OOOOO
The 11:05 from Trondheim arrived on time and is collecting passengers on their way to Fundy Bay.
Near that station the annual Holiday markets entice residents and visitors alike to sample treats and by a tree to decorate.
The All Volunteer Christmas Jinglers fill the streets with Holiday favorites like Santa's favorite "Grandma Just Got Run Over By A Reindeer"--word on the street is Mrs. Claus is NOT amused.
The trolley collects riders while some children get ready to play a little ice hockey.
On the far end of town, the homes are festooned with lights and wreaths, ribbons and bells. Visitors without accommodations will always find a place at the table and cot before the hearth in Winter Village.
Midway more shops greet gift seekers and the official North Pole Post Office struggles to keep up with the late coming volume of mail. Why, look! A hot air balloon from far away Zimbabwe has just arrived.
North Pole Proper with the Claus' home all the toy workshops and the Elves Residence is never more frenetic than in the month of December.
Mrs. Claus distributes freshly baked cookies to keep up the Elves strength!
While Santa himself is busy assuring quality control.
