Please won't you be my neighbor?
|
Please won't you be my neighbor? Today I put up my annual Christmas village. I have collected the items for 20 years now, and each one has a story. My husband was in the military for 23 years and we moved overseas every 3 years or so. So we never "owned" a house until he retired. So there is one house in the village that my girls and I would fantasize about being ours. And since we moved so much, we added a moving van, moving men, and when we bought our first home, we added a For Sale sign with SOLD on it. When I became a nurse, my family bought a hospital for the village. When our first grandson was born, they bought a daycare center. Today after I put up the village..........it takes almost an entire day to do it....and lit it up, I sat down on the stool and just looked at it. We have people shopping, people at the train station. Theres an ice skating rink, a roller rink, a barn dance going on, and of course the quaint houses. Theres even a McDonald's, Starbucks, and a Krispy Creme. There are firemen, playing, and even a cat stuck up in a tree. So, today, while looking at the village and all the lights, and moving people, I thought how nice it would be to live in that village. Everyone looks busy, but happy. So, I am inviting all of you to come live in my "neighborhood". Won't you be my neighbor? |

Polly, you are a very welcome neighbor! Anytime you can get here you can live in my "village". And I promise it will be a refuge. Amb Lily....that is so cool. You will have to let me know what you get. It is a tradition that you will never regret. Last night when my grandson came over and saw the village he let out a scream of delight that lightened my heart in a way that nothing else could have. Bodyfreaks....what can I say but woohoo! Its great to have you as a neighbor. Happy Holidays!.....no matter how you celebrate!
