Straight No Chaser - 12 Days of Christmas.On the top shelf, we have a residential neighborhood, with four homes, a small road, and some trees. In this post, I have shown how I set up the foundation of the display on each shelf, using styrofoam sheets.

I think the second or third year, we added a box full of villagers, so that our village would have little people in it. In the three years after that, we added more kits, until we had all of the buildings that were offered, and actually, the kits were no longer being sold. In the Christmas of 1989, our Christmas Village was officially incorporated! We spent our evenings in November carefully (but not very skillfully!) painting our kits. Each kit cost us $9.99, and contained two buildings, a set of acrylic paints, and a wiring kit for lighting up the village. We splurged and purchased four plaster kits from the craft store. So we looked for something to do together to build our home. Our first Christmas after graduating from college, we had just recently moved far away from our family to take our first 'real' jobs.
