My four-year-old daughter and I visited Christmas Village for the first time in December of 2006, and we really didn't know what to expect. Luckily, some folks in the know told us that the wait would be long, but they assured us it would be worth it. They were right on both counts.
Hopefully, these pictures will inspire you to visit Christmas Village this year. I have plenty of tips to share, so you'll be more prepared than I was.
