What a talented and creative person Todd is. I love seeing men get involved with Christmas villages and decor. Thank you for filming each step so us novices can give it a try.

What a pleasure to watch your entire process. We just joined the fun and purchased a lot of 28 Dickens Dept 56. 🎄🎄🎄

An outstanding display! You've given me lots of tips on how to improve our display in future years. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for watching and for the comment! I'm about to watch your Christmas village video right now :)

[@petelinster7093]

Todd You are so creative. Have you seen Miriam's Channel? All the realistic accents you throw in really make your Dickens village stand out. Maybe this year I will video my village again. It has been awhile. I hope you have another to boast about as well. Thank you for sharing this absolute delight.

Great video and AWESOME village. I like how you make a story out of it, from unpacking, cats, and set-up as well as the finished village. Well done. It has been chosen as a "Village Video of the Month" selection on our website. It will be featured on the "Village Videos" page of our site starting Thursday, September 15, 2022. Congratulations!

Gorgeous workmanship with the waterways and various levels, shorelines and water themed houses. Great watching you craft it together. I’m in love with the street lamps and 3 D arrangements. Thank you for sharing. How the heck do you keep your fur babies off your village?

Thank you! Have a great 2022!

Beautiful! Tis’ the season! I am super grateful to have participated in setting up the village this year - it is a work of art for sure. Kudos!

[@natureterp]

Thank you for the help! City planning is one of my weaknesses. You saved Mom a ton of time in setting up. We definitely appreciated your help this year :)

Just love the village and the cats. I have the same mix of fur babies two orange and one black. Now back to business, the village. Was that epoxy you poured for the water? And what did you use for sand in the big container?

[@natureterp]

Thanks for watching and for the comment! Yep, that was epoxy resin. I get it on Amazon now in larger containers, but you can get it at Home Depot - smaller quantity but a bit more expensive per ounce. I just get the stuff that is a 1-1 ratio so I don't have to do math. I live in Oregon so the sand is just from one of my trips to the coast. I have gotten sand at places like Michaels though - finer grain and different colors. I used that on my train village. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ2bkmuBdtR1r9k Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! .
