It's been years since we put up such displays in winter. I use my cats as an excuse. Some of the best pics I've taken of our miniature villages are those showing them being dismantled with Godzilla-sized cats stepping amid the ruins. Yours are much nicer.

I wish I could make my two villages into one large one but no such luck. I have a great room for it but fear the cats may jump up onto the large table and destroy something. I may give it a try one year though. They are pretty good kitties and dont jump up on what they are allowed to.
