Thank you Amaddie D. I have been collecting for over 30 years and believe me I still learn every year lol. It's a lot of fun and I really enjoy the comments. But the looks on peoples faces when they see it in person makes it all worth while. Merry Christmas
Oh my goodness this is beyond AMAZING!!!! I set up my village already but it looks nothing compare to yours! I have a lot to buy and learn lol. Thank you for this video!! I LOVED it!!!
Excellent!!!! is Inspirational !!!! U are so Smart People....I don't think that I can do something like that...Extremely Beautiful...I Hope u Enjoy and have Beautiful Holidays....
You are welcome ...I have been waiting every year for your video....so amazing that gives me the inspiration to keep on going with mine too...('tho it just a small one village)...Merry Christmas and may you have a safe ang happy New Year...
Thank You Rx Grace2000, I'm so happy you watched my latest video. I made it a lot shorter this year, I'm running out of time with my work schedule to complete a longer video. Have a wonderful holiday and thanks for the nice comments.
pammyj100 Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you as well. I will be working on a village again...it's been a couple of years. Thanks for the inspiration!
Phenomenal! I marvel at your ingenuity in mutilating pieces to achieve your creative effects -- taking the dremel tool to the nuns to fit them into bumper cars, painting your D56 animated track black to make a cart path (it's gonna break anyway). Of course, I love the new golf course. Early bird catches the worm! My village is set up & I hope to have a video published next weekend. Thanks for sharing your city.
Most would frown on my "mutilating", but a true villager like you ( and me) call it creative lol. I like your thinking Jim! And I knew you would like the golf course...I remembered you are a fellow duffer. Can't wait to see your production!
Amazing work of art: images with matching music, that's an amazing feat. Look forward to your next year's village. So keep up the good work. Happy holiday
Hi Pammy, Your video is one of the ones that raises the bar every year for creativity. Your video skills and presentation are awesome. Thanks for sharing. Linsterville 2013 is my snow village. And be on the look out for 2014 which will be out soon I hope by Christmas.
Hi Pete. Thank you for your nice comments. I have also viewed your video and I love it. I look forward to seeing your village for this year.I subscribed to you so I will be notified when it posts. Merry Christmas!
Beautiful again this year, but didn't look like you put everything out this year like I have seen in past videos! I have been collecting for several years now myself. I was so disappointed I didn't get to put mine out this year because I had surgery in October. But next year watch out. Still looking for one of those Carole Towne Lemax Churches with the monks. I haven't found one yet, but will keep looking. I am so glad you did this video I look forward to it each year. Great Job!
Thank you Vicki, I still have more to put out, but I got a late start and since I moved it to a different location this year, I ran out of time. Next year I hope to do a plan to fit everything in. Sorry to hear of your surgery and I hope everything is going well for you now. I will keep an eye out on ebay for you for the Monk Church. Happy and Healthy New Year to you.
Outstanding! Hope you can shoot some more video showing wider shots of the layout....so great! I am T minus three weeks on mine....opening night is Dec. 13th!
Hi Pam, so sorry to har about your mother your villages have inspired us so much and your help has been wonderful, hope to see one next year. Pam if you know anyone selling all the lemax zoo pieces please pass them on to me Kindest regards our thoughts are with you
Pammyj, there is a new village video which has something we dream about. It took him 2 years to develop & make it. Watch 2014 Caddington Square Christmas Village by mastersullivan. Also, don bouc has a great time lapse Dickens giant village setup video. Mine was published tonite. I borrowed liberally.
Hi Adam, I used an old Ice skating rink. It was made locally by a neighbor of mine. I got it over 25 years ago. However, I believe Dept 56 has on similar to this one. I painted it green and applied the foot ball field felt. The players are from Dept 56 Champsfield Stadium. I glued magnets to the bottom of them. Good luck, I hope this helps you.
Hi Pammy, I have enjoyed your villages throughout the years. I have had a village for years, but nothing compares to yours. I want to take a video of my village for my children. I have 3 children in the service in 3 different continents. How did you film your video and how do you add the music to it ? Just want to send them a little part of home. Thank you for sharing your hard work. I watch your videos over and over. It is so relaxing and I dream that I'm in the middle of your beautiful village.
Thank you Lynn. And please thank your children from me for keeping us safe! I have an Olympic camera that films video as well as takes photos. I bought from QVC for around $200. Download your photos to your computer. Then I download music from Amazon (each song costs about $1.30) to my computer. Next I use Movie Maker...a free download on your computer. There may be a you tube video on how to put it all together....it is quite simple though. Now you're ready to make your movie. Just add the photos/video you want then add the music. I'm sure they will love it! Good luck and if I can help in anyway, please let me know! Merry Christmas
Pammy, once again, beautiful as usual. I am speechless, I tried to mine as beautiful as possible but there's no comparison to yours. Where did you get the golf player and the crazy car with the nuns? Thanks Pammy.
Thank you Carl, your words mean a lot! The animated golfer ( the one that putts is Dept 56). The "cart path" that the golfers, carts, and deer travel on is also Dept 56 "Animated Track". The golf figures through out the course I found on ebay from Hobby Shops. Happy Holidays to you
Thanks Matt. The coaster was put out by Disney Theme Parks several years ago. I got mine on ebay for about $100, however, I have seen them go as high as $400. Good luck, hope you fine one at a good price.
I love your village. Thank you for sharing it. What scale is the train? We'd like to add a train to our little village and yours is a greta source of inspiration. Thanks.
Hi Aaron, thank you for the nice comments. The train is HO SCALE. I think it fits in the best with the Lemax and Dept 56 buildings. The street cars are also HO SCALE. Have a Happy Holiday Season
Hi Pammy, Your village is great. I follow you every year. :) Where did you get the silver cages for the zoo animals? I look forward to seeing your village this coming year. Thank you very much
ileana gonzalez Hello Ileana, thank you, you are too kind. I purchased the silver cages on ebay. They are 6 inch pieces that hook together. I got them several years ago and haven't seen them since. I'm always on ebay, if I see any listed, I will message you. Oh, and I'm already planning this years village in my head, lol.
TOUT SIMPLEMENT J'ADORE ?JE COMMENCE JUSTE D'EN FAIRE UN ?MAIS OU AVEZ VOUS TROUVE LA PETITE ROUTE AVEC LA VOITURE ET LE PERSONNAGE QUI BOUGE JE VOUDRAIS METTRE UNE ANIMATIO DE CE TYPE MAIS JE NE TROUVE PAS POUVEZ VOUS M'AIGUILLEZ ! COMBIEN DE TEMPS DE TEMPS POUR REALISER CE MAGNIFIQUE VILLAGE BRAVO FAITES NOUS CONTINUER A NOUS FAIRE REVER ET MERCI POUR CE MOMENT DE FEERIE
Thank you Christine. The Fair is my favorite. I'm not sure if you mean the white structure with the orange cars or the white tram on a grey rail, or the black road in the golf club. The white structure is a roller coaster from Disney Land Parks. The gray track is also from Disney Land, a monorail. And the black roadway is Dept. 56 Heritage Village Animated Track, it was white and I painted it black. If that is the one you are talking about, check out my video from last year, I did an animated parade on it. I have been collecting for over 30 years. Did you do a video of your village?Where are you from? I am in the USA.
+Jack C Hello Jack, I didn't do a village this year. I lost my Mom a couple months ago and just couldn't get into the Christmas spirit. Thanks for asking, Happy New Year to you
NY ISLANDER313 It was sold in Disney Stores and Disney Theme Parks about 15 years ago. I found mine on ebay around 8 years ago, paid $100. I've seen them go recently for as high as $500. It is a kit you put together and the car is battery operated.
my pleasure! This video only shows a small amount of what is actually in my village. I have so much more that is displayed, however, I tried to focus on the fun and animated parts as to not bore anyone.
Thank you Amaddie D. I have been collecting for over 30 years and believe me I still learn every year lol. It's a lot of fun and I really enjoy the comments. But the looks on peoples faces when they see it in person makes it all worth while. Merry Christmas

Thank you for your nice comments. Setting up a village is easy, I'm sure you can do it! No right or wrong way, just have fun. Merry Christmas to you.
Nice setting again...I love your village...amazing...
Thank you Adel. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Merry Christmas!

That looks wonderful! I love the trolley going over the Golden Gate! Another fantastic job!
Thank you Noni for the nice comments. Merry Christmas
pammyj100 Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you as well. I will be working on a village again...it's been a couple of years. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks for sharing again
Kevin

Thanks for sharing this amazing layout. I am working on my Christmas layout and this was inspirational.
Thank you for your nice comments. Please let me know if you post a You Tube video. I would like to view yours. Happy Holidays!
Amazing work of art: images with matching music, that's an amazing feat. Look forward to your next year's village. So keep up the good work. Happy holiday
Thank you Bungbiny2. I like my village to "tell a story". What better than matching music and images. Thanks for viewing. Happy Holidays!
Kudos again and again! So much time effort with every little detail. Happy Holidays!
Thank you John. I also enjoyed your "My Favorite Things" video. Well done! Merry Christmas.

Thanks Don, I look forward to seeing your wonder display! I plan on doing a film strip of the village. There is so much more to show. Happy Holidays!

Amazing Display, and what did you use to make the football players move?

pammyj100 Oh and the Nuns are Lemax figures that I cut to fit into Lemax Crazy Car Ride.
What happened to the car set u had running throughout the village? (the Lemax classic car set)
still in the attic.....ran out of room again
Absolutely stunning display! Where did you find the roller coaster, all I've ever seen were small and not as impressive.
Thanks Matt. The coaster was put out by Disney Theme Parks several years ago. I got mine on ebay for about $100, however, I have seen them go as high as $400. Good luck, hope you fine one at a good price.

Do u have the gondola and ski slopes up?
Hi Adam, My Gondola broke last year and I haven't replaced it yet so I didn't do a winter scene so no slopes this this.
Oh ok

Who is the manufacturer of the White Roller Coaster?
NY ISLANDER313 It was sold in Disney Stores and Disney Theme Parks about 15 years ago. I found mine on ebay around 8 years ago, paid $100. I've seen them go recently for as high as $500. It is a kit you put together and the car is battery operated.
