Peddlers village is a quaint, Victorian type setting with lots of unique things to see. The shops are a bit pricey, but if you are really into ornate collectibles, it is the place for you. There is still plenty to do and you can have a good time without spending any money. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get any pictures of the elf on stilts
We did see the amazing gingerbread house display. Some people are way too crafty and creative for me. I wouldn't spend near as much time making a gingerbread house as these enthusiasts. However, I appreciate that some people pay attention to detail so that I can be amazed.
Baby Cakes and I in front of some amazing gingerbread houses. I particularly like the one above Eliza's head. True Victorian style - that rounded wall with the candy stain glass windows is particularly pleasing to the eye.
The Wonderful World of Disney - I'm guessing that the trees are made of fondant.
This one I like because of the pretzel fence and green house built on the side.
And my personal favorite...
How awesome that someone (a child actually) recognizes the reason for the season. They had competitions ranging from different age levels (from seniors to kids). Winners were awarded prizes. Although the nativity gingerbread didn't win any awards, it certainly stood out as one of the more simple, yet beautiful houses.
We stayed until it got dark so we could see the thousands of Christmas lights. Alternating colors through a candy cane tunnel and snowflake lights hanging from the trees - it was pretty to see. I didn't take any pictures though because as soon as the sun went down - it got COLD!! I didn't want to take my hands out of my pockets since I didn't bring any gloves.
Maybe next year we can see the parade, and bring Bruce with us too.
