new on the "Christmas" page. It's very hard to experience
everything on this page and not come away feeling good -

Plus, we've dubbed this a "Stocking Stuffer Thursday" by
adding new desktop photos to (where else but)

passion. Real People, Real Villages, Real Fun. Get the
popcorn and your favorite beverage, settle in, and click
on the "Village Videos" page. This week will a feature a very
special "Editor"s Choice" that includes an extra, four part

To quote Russell Crowe, "Are you not entertained?"
Ah, the weekend, but there's still more to do, because it's
Contributor's Day
celebrating the great additions of special villaging fun
that Larry and David bring to The Village Collector.
Re-visit (or relish the discovery of) the amazing, creative
mind and villaging skills of Larry Treadwell. Escape into all
four of the yearly episodes of "A Dickens Christmas" to
keep the party rolling.
Plus, for those who enjoy a family-friendly, spooky, fun tale
in a Halloween Village setting, experience Larry's genius here
as well. You can explore three yearly episodes of "Hauntsville".
BOO!
Find all this on our "Larry Treadwell" page.
And to cap off our "Christmas in July" celebration, check
out the updates, discoveries and musings of our popular
David Spears. The years of collecting and villaging experience
give David and his wife Linda, a unique perspective, as they
continue to find ways to use the little treasures and items they
discover during their travels. Your Village/Display will thank
you for it. To find all this, just click
on our "Just So You Know . . . ." page.
Relax and re-live it all, and explore the rest of the website.
Be sure to check back often. There's always something
new here. "The Weekly" changes every Monday, and
the "Village Videos" are all new every Friday. Plus there's
plenty of unexpected "Inspiration, Information & Fun"
appearing all the time.
Villaging is Always Fun Here!
- A World Wide Village -
We keep talking about how many countries that villagers have
visited from. We are very grateful, but also very surprised at how
popular lit villages are all over the world. Also, I never knew
how many types of lit villages there are. Many can be seen on
the "Village Photos" page.
I thought you might be as amazed as I was, if you actually see
where our community extends to. During these trying times,
sharing is even more important. Thank You All, So Very Much.
We Truly Are ONE Community.
You can keep track of all the countries of our community
at the bottom of the "Home" page.
