    Posting this here instead of Lego forum as I am not a purist :) I just decided this year that I wanted to have a Lego Christmas village :) as a main decoration.

    I planned on adding one piece each year.... But I may have more the one already. Thanks to a husband who was happy to have an easy birthday gift option and rewarding myself after finishing a PhD. There are original pieces but they are no longer in stock so cost hundreds which with one little girl, a mortgage etc etc I can't afford :) so I am making my own little village. Will prob start building in Nov.

    Anyone else do this?

    Here is what I have so far

    Gingerbread-House

    Winter-Holiday-Train

    Changing-Seasons

    Winter-Toy-Shop

    Santa-Toy-Workshop

    Oh lights that's a good idea....if not too expensive must do some research. I have the city advent calendar Irishgal2000, got it for 17 euro in smyths so will add those pieces as I go along too!!

    I can only justify the price as I had money saved for an extra years tuition which I don't need anymore :)

    Hi Milly,

    Some I got off amazon, some were cheaper due to bonus items off the Lego store. I will be buying the last piece from the Lego store next week as you get another free Holiday Calendar with it so I can add those too.
