How to set up Christmas Village: Dewan style

[@kamalani808]

What a handsome, smart and sweet boy Dewan is! He did a great job!

[@MiriamsManner]

Thank you so very much. He truly has been such an amazing kids since the day he was born. God has truly blessed him in so many ways and he is a blessing to me. I will share your sweet words with him, I know it will make him happy. 😁

[@roisinbaird334]

He is adorable. It's wonderful how excited he is to get his village together. Very precious that you two are creating such wonderful memories together. He's a natural!!!! God Bless!

[@MiriamsManner]

😂🤣 Aw, thanks so much. Yes, he is. Both he and my daughter do such a wonderful job on their village each year.

[@mariatavares6405]

Omg Miriam, your son is such a cutie!!! The apple didn’t fall far from the tree!!! He’s a character and a natural, god bless him!!! Love the village and the tree he did a great job!!! 👏🏻😊💕

[@MiriamsManner]

Aw, thanks so much! He is a character, he and his sister always have my husband and I laughing. We will do videos of them putting together their villages again this year too. I will let him know you said that! 😀

[@ChristmasEjyt]

All of you do such a superb job of hiding the cords

[@MiriamsManner]

😂😂. We try our best. I set up a wooden base for my kids the same way I do mine. That way, I drill holes in the top and drop the cords through the table.

[@marienz9555]

He's already a professional village designer like his mom such a natural...Great work!!

[@MiriamsManner]

Thank you so much! I will tell him you said so. 😀

[@alysintigo8677]

I speak Spanish and I am study English so I see videos in KZbin to learn, your son is so adorable! I love him.

[@MiriamsManner]

Hola Alicia, Muchas gracias! 😘. El es muy bueno tambien. Hablo muy pequito Espanol pero estoy aprendiendo. Tu Ingles es muy bien. 😀

[@pilarmendoza9071]

Seldom for a boy to be creative as you are. You were blessed with such talent. You're Mom is surely proud of you and your sister. Great job . God bless you

[@MiriamsManner]

Dewan said that is so much!

[@lloydg8273]

Oh Miriam, it's always such a wonderful surprise when I see one of your videos has been posted. Your son has done an oustanding job in setting up his village. To think that he drew a blueprint of his entire layout. You could have a future architect or land developer in your midst. Your children have such great talents and creativity. Their parents have taught them well. Dewan, you rocked that village out. So many different scenarios all in one setting. Great job. Awesome tree too. Your family really knows how to decorate for the holidays. Thanx for sharing. Blessings to you all.

[@MiriamsManner]

Thanks so much Lloyd! He used to say all the time he wants to be an architect. He hasn’t talked about it in a year or so. He is starting to think about it again. Dewan said thank you very much!!

[@marcellaaldama8896]

Hi Miriam, I’m still catching up on your Christmas Village tutorials and I came across this one. Two words, “absolutely adorable” . Wait, he’s sweet and smart too! I agree with you and another person that you never know what they pick up from parents and he has already learned so much that he could have an interest in designing and building for a career. Being a mother of an only son, I see that your son Dewan is everything a mother, and father, would be proud of. I enjoy your videos and look forward to future ones too. Take care !

[@MiriamsManner]

Aw, thank you so much Marcella! He absolutely is, he has been such a blessing to my life. I pray you and your son enjoy every part of your Christmas village. 😃

[@tammyrodell1927]

I love that Dewan has stories! Our village does, too!

[@MiriamsManner]

🤣🤣😂. The stories make it great. My kids and I tell stories to each other about our own villages.

[@obsessedwith_christmas]

Not sure why i havent commented before now, as I know I watched this before. You, momma, did a very good job teaching him how to put up a village! Dewan, you did a wonderful job! And I laughed out loud when you said y'all are always at Ace hardware. For us, it's Lowes!

[@MiriamsManner]

😂🤣😂. Thanks so much Rebecca! The children really do have their own vision for their villages and I love seeing what they do from year to year. We are at Ace all the time. 😂🤣. It’s so close to us. If Lowes or Home Depot were closer, I would be there too. I will share your comment with Dewan.

[@jimmyrants4342]

What a wonderful village your son created. I know you must be so proud of him.

[@MiriamsManner]

Thank you, I truly am. Both my children and super bright and very creative and imaginative. I love seeing them display the talent God have them.

[@maryanngray8562]

Your son is a treasure! His room is awesome!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MiriamsManner]

Thank you!

What an amazing village! Well done, Dewan!! Thank you for sharing you creation!!

[@MiriamsManner]

Dewan said “thank you so much!”

[@lauraanderson2429]

Dewan you are awesome! Your village is amazing. You learned so much from mom and dad. This will be fantastic knowledge when you are grown and have a family of your own one day. Keep up the great work. I know it was fun for you and thanks so much for sharing. Merry Christmas!

[@MiriamsManner]

Hello Laura, Dewan said thank you very much! 😁

[@OlivenRoseCreates]

I love this so much! I hope he keeps it up through the years!!!

[@MiriamsManner]

Aw, thank you so much! I will tell him you said so.

[@jeaniehartzell9928]

WOW! Dewan you did a wonderful job on your village. Your ski mountain looks just like the mountain I take my ambulance to when skiers get hurt. I could use a helper like you with my village. You have a great imagination just like your mom. I can see you being a rich land developer when you grow up. 🤩

[@MiriamsManner]

😂😂😂 He used to say he wants to be an architect. We shall see! ☺️

[@nikitavalicia4939]

Hi Miriam!! Your children are so adorable! Your son did such an awesome job as well! I love how he said that a village could never have too many trees, and that is so true! I've found that by adding more trees to my own village, it really helped to bring it more together. Excellent video Miriam and Dewan! I really enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to more great ideas!

[@MiriamsManner]

Thanks so much Nikita, Dewan said thank you as well. He is feeling the love! 😄

Dewan.... You're village is awesome! Love your platforms, especially the lake and the mountain. Thank you for the fun way you invited us to see you set it up. I got a kick watching you place the snow around the train track. It's very refreshing watching you and your sister enjoying designing your own villages on your own. You guys really owned it!

Hello Melissa, thank you so very much. Yes, I truly have a wonderful son. Both my children are amazing souls and it has been my blessing to steward them. My mother and I built that mountain together but there is no video for it. We built that prior to me starting my channel.

Miriam, you have beautiful and smart kids! They have talent! Their village is a thousand times better then mine! 🤣 I have changed my layout so many times I have no ideas anymore! I just can’t figure it out this year, I had in mind something else but since I did not get in time the realistic water, i changed the whole thing... 😩 Help!! Haha! I moght ask your kids to give me advice since they are experts!!! God bless you and your lovely family
