Thank you for another incredible journey, a progression from innocent joys to thoughtful stirrings, to the full realization of the meaning Christmas. Your music illuminates with comedic joy and true power all the themes so beautifully portrayed visually. Bravo for never flying under the radar! Merry Christmas to you and yours, Forever Fan.
Thank you so much, Forever Fan, for the NY Times-like review (I think you missed your dream job). It's greatly appreciated. Radar? What radar? What will be a sad day is when I run out of ideas to try. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Mr Jim has done it again. You have just displayed why you are “One of the best to ever do it”. Simply amazing. I see we have both used the Cookie piece this year but you have taken it and centered an entire theme around it. Outstanding!!! The opening piece - a work of art. As usual, I love the diversity displayed from the figurines to the themes. The girls are a joy to see. Ending with the nativity-heart warming. Well done. Blessing to you and your family.
Lola, welcome to the club! I'm a village beginner compared to you -- my first display was in 2012. I learned mostly by watching TH-cam videos. The Mills Brothers are from my hometown. My wife & I recently saw Michael Buble and the Oak Ridge Boys perform. Have a Merry Christmas with your family!
Lola, when you find a great Christmas song that makes scenes pop into your head -- like the Cookie song -- you can't wait to build it and video it. Did you notice my little Pammy handing out cookies?
Hi Jim! Once again very well done on the video, the focus and lighting are outstanding. My favorite part of the video was ' light up Christmas' You got to show us a little more of your village. I do miss your stadium scenes though. Sorry so late to view videos this year, life is a little up side down with construction issues. Have a great new year, and I hope to join the party in 2024!!
Beautiful video! You did a great job as always. Congratulations! The soundtrack is very beautiful and carefully chosen in relation to the images. The Still Motion technique is cute, sooner or later I have to try it too. I send you the best wishes for a Merry Christmas and I wish you all the best for next year!
Grazie Cesare! Sono lieto che il mio video ti sia piaciuto. Non so perché dovresti provare la stop motion quando hai un movimento reale così eccellente. Un videomaker che seguo chiamato «bosmailman» usa una lenza da pesca traslucida per trainare i suoi veicoli attraverso la scena del villaggio. L'ho provato anche una volta. Buon Natale a te e alla tua famiglia!
Bravo!! Just when I thought last years village was the best ever, you amaze us with yet another beautiful production. How do you do it Jim? I love the horse carriages and how they travel down the lane. I never realized there were so many different ones. I see you went back to the old school Lemax car track, always one of my favorite pieces. And I am partial to the replica of me....although these past few months has turned my blonde hair to grey. The ending is spectacular as well. Jim you continue to set the bar high! Well done my friend. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy, Happy New Year! See you in July!
Glad to please. Once I decided on Jingle Bells (the most common Christmas song), the one-horse open sleighs dashing thru the snow started showing up at my door. They'll be on sale in March. I'm pretty sure my tiny Muse Queen will find her way into each subsequent village from now on. I can paint her hair gray, or you can trade a nutroll or three or some perogies for a hair coloring. My Bethlehem continues to grow, although it will probably be suspended for 2024 (unless a great song comes along). I anxiously await your 2024 masterpiece along with your thousands of minions whose holidays were partially ruined this year. Health would be nice in 2024. In my final checkout at the ENT the receptionist told me about her mother & father who had to retire to manage all their doctors' appointments -- I never thought of that! Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family! P.S. -- LolaZack08 has another great video. We've spawned a monster.
@@jpetersgolfproThanks for the mention. May your wish for good health be granted. Pammyj100, I too, look forward to your work of art in 2024. Both of your presentations influenced me to become a visual story teller of the work that I have hid for so many years. Support for one another is beautiful.
Love your village I’m been watching them for the last 3 years when I found them but I have to ask now where do you find your biblical figures? I hope you can help me with this I’m trying to do a Easter scene and can only find the nativity scenes figurines basically the holy family once again love the villages keep them coming
Thank you, Agnes, for your kind comments and for watching all the way through. The biblical figures are a mix of Dept 56 Holy Land Collection and Grandeur Noel's Bethlehem Village, everything purchased on eBay. Dept 56 issued an Easter Story Series (thevillagechronicler.com/Collections/HL%20The%20Easter%20Story%20Series.html) you may find interesting. The little figures can pretty much move around for different vignettes.

Hi Jim, I enjoyed your 2023 village. Like aways, you did a fanatic job. Love the Bethlehem theme. Look to your 2024 project.
Thanks, Jeff! Bethlehem was quite popular this year. I'm proud to be a "fanatic" villager!
