Christmas village

The "in" thing this year in our neighborhood is to have a Christmas village. Four ladies in the community took a class on how to make these villages and each one has a village displayed in their foyer. Our closest neighbor, Ally, invited us up to see her village. We were intrigued at the details and that most of the pieces comes from used or everyday items. One lady said to us, "You know this is all made from trash, don't you?" :-) She used leaves from banana trees, bark, sticks, different leaves and many natural things to make this village. It was quite interesting! It is supposed to be a village similar to the time when Jesus was born.
Her display goes from her foyer clear around to her stairs banister. You can see how high she built it. She has lights weaved through it so at night it looks really neat.
