r/ChristmasVillages

Hi, new here, hope this question is okay! Years ago I picked up a Walmart building at a yard sale. I love it, but it’s been sitting in its box for almost a decade. I’ve decided I really want to crack down on creating a village like I grew up having - finally! But my goal is to collect a bunch of real-life buildings instead. Ideally I’d like to get them secondhand, so my question is, what stores or restaurants have created buildings that I should be looking out for?

Hi everyone. I inherited a large collection of Heritage Dept 56 buildings. Last year it was SO hard to light them up. I am looking for individual battery or bluetooth lights to stick in the hole where the lights go. I found something for $12, but way out of my price range to light up all the houses I have. I really need some help!! Thank you!!
