A Little bit of Christmas Cheer in A Lemax Christmas Village

Good Morning Folks, I hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving with your families and if you are back to blog surfing I hope that means you are still taking some fun time for yourself. Today I am offering a updated tour of Cassidyville or Linda’s Lemax Village, a special little town/village I spend a lot of time in every year around the holidays. OK I know it seems like a fake little village to many but to me it is a special place that I have created.

Cassidyville or Linda’s Lemax Village

I have been collecting little Christmas Village Buildings and attractions for many years, I started out with a collection from Zellers and as Zellers came out with even prettier buildings I started trading in the old for the new, the Zellers abandoned me ( just like Target insert crying emoji).

Thankfully Michaels and Canadian Tire both carry the Lemax Line so I was able to carry on my tradition. I try to purchase a new piece each year, but as the collection grew and space became limited i sometimes look at people/trees/vehicles etc to accent my village. Each piece I purchase is representative of my life and holds special meaning.

As an example the Winery ( coincidentally I own two of them oops but one was a gift). Wineries are special places and hold many a memory for Kent and I so it is fitting to have one in my village .

Hockey in Canada and 2016

2014 I found Hawk cabin ( and as our best bud who has been living with us goes by Hawk, well I had to add that building right) for 2015 I found the firepit and boys roasting hot-dogs, which is what my guys spend the summer evening doing so let’s winterize their activity. Each place usually has special meaning, the bagel shop was purchased when Ryan came into my life, he was our bagel boy for so many years. Beside the bagel shop is the Winery, no surprise that is in my village right? I found a Hockey rink for Carly and an Ice Cream Shoppe for Nic.

2016 my additions included a Pizzeria which is near and dear to us and an awesome Gingerbread Van ( both thanks to my baby sister who found them in Edmonton and shipped them to me, they sold out quickly here). I also had wanted the Pet Store but no one found that anywhere. Lou was very disappointed with me that there was no place in the village for Cats to feel safe ( well except everywhere in my village is cat friendly)

2017 Michaels came out with a Pet Shelter so you can be sure I grabbed that as soon as I saw it. I also picked up a little car and a few fun accessories and people. Hello Santa and the picture booth and a little telephone booth.

This is my little town, one I hope continues to grow. Canadian Tire and Michaels almost kill me every year. 2017 and even 2016 their selections were so crazy in line with what I want. How does one limit themselves each year I ask??? I know have a new list of MUST HAVES. ( so If Canadian Tire or Lemax are ever looking for a Village Ambassador, here I am)
