So it's that time of year again and we can all scramble to get our advent calendars on display. In this house - we have three, not one each but all of them for Josh! We have a wooden Father Christmas with red felt pockets which are filled with chocolates, a bog standard celebrations chocolate calendar and our very favourite advent village. This is the village where I would love to live. It has a warm and cosy church, a huge christmas tree, small cottages, grand houses and of course the best toyshop in the whole wide world. We have had this little calendar since Josh was about two - and he's thirteen in March. Still he insists that this little village comes out every year and is built in the lead up to Christmas Day. No chocolate, no sweets, just the pleasure of seeing each sweet little building arrive in the village with its frozen village pond (good for skating) and its copious amounts of snow (perfect for building snowmen).
I'll try to show you the village as it is built, some of the residents who live there and the house I would choose for myself.

That looks so cute. Not quite as cute but better than chocolate, we have a Playmobil advent calendar, you get a different piece each day until it builds up to a snowy parkland scene.

That's a beautiful advent calendar. We have a large felt thing that hangs on the wall, with the mini snowman being tucked into the appropriate pockets. Oh and then there's the chocolate advents - one each (and that includes me).

Hiya funkymonkey, I just left a comment on someones blog saying that my first alcoholic drink as a child was a snowball so I must be depraved too LOL! I think it was more lemonade than 'snow' but it was yummy and I still love them now all year round. 'A snowball isnt just for christmas, its for life' that is my new motto. Hee Hee! I love the advent calender, Id love to live in a little village with chocolate pockets too. LOL! I wonder how many advent calenders are too many for one person to have? 10 maybe? Thanks so much for stopping by my blog X
I am looking forward to you building the village!
The village looks so cute, I look forward to seeing it built.
