For some people the thought of being locked down for Christmas 2019 was unthinkable. For me and my little family this was a chance to really enjoy some quality time together and we were determined to make it the best Christmas possible.
Lockdown was announced for November (2020) and I was sat wondering where to start with making this the best Christmas for my boy who was 3 and for me & his mum.
I’ve always loved going big for Christmas decorations but this year was the first time I’ve ever thought about making your own Christmas village. My idea was to have a little train that ran through a little neighbourhood.
I found the plan of making a little neighbourhood great enjoyment and also something to do in the evening by searching the realms of Facebook marketplace, which opened my eyes to something a lot bigger than just a few Christmas village ornaments.
Lemax.
Having seen and learnt about Lemax I was engrossed in finding out more. I realised that I could take my little neighbourhood and make it something that I only imagined what Christmas was like.
Albeit I was on a budget and I’m sure you can see from the photos that not everything here is Lemax and I broadened my horizons to getting the best looking village for the best price.
My village became an obsession, the enjoyment I got from finding new pieces that were perfect for my idea of Christmas made it even better. In the end I had a Santa wonderland that was raised above the village of normality with a train running around the village and going through a tunnel underneath the wonderland.
Since trawling the depths of the internet and Facebook EFK-Lemax seems to be the perfect fit and the go-to place for brand new products along with very trustworthy second hand products.
