I have one with about 10 buildings that had belonged to my 2nd husband's mother. I have bought accessories for it over the years since I first got it. I absolutely love it; it is just the kind of thing that I had always wanted. In our previous home, we had a little more room than we do now, and I liked to put it under the tree. In my apartment now, it is difficult to find room for it. (Even though I like the village under the tree, I also like gifts under the tree and I can't have both.) Last year, I ended up not even putting it up. I guess I am at the point where I want to see the finished beauty, but don't want all the hassle of setting it up. This year, since I have my oldest daughter here for a while, I will make sure it is put up.
