After receiving the awesome Santa’s Workshop Lego Set for Christmas, I decided to build my own Lego Christmas Village!

Dutchie’s Bakery & Windmill

I’ve always wanted to build a windmill, and I missed out on the earlier Bakery Winter Village Lego set, so I thought I would combine the two into Dutchie’s Bakery.  The bakery is named after my brothers first Border Collie Dutch.

Noteworthy’s Musical Instruments, Rockin’ Rick’s Records, and WOLF FM Radio Station

This building combines three musically themed creations, a musical instrument shop, a record shop, and a radio station.  The DJ of WOLF FM is none other then Wolfman Jack, one of my favorite DJ’s growing up!

St. Moe’s Church

While I am no longer religous, I've always loved churches, and I figured every Winter Village needs one so I built St. Moe's Church. St. Moe I believe was the patron saint of the face slap, or maybe it was the eye poke? At any rate, the church features stained glass windows, pews, altar, lecturn, candle, and and organ.

Malone’s Pub & Final Frontier Comics & Collectables

This building is a pub and comic book store.   Malone's is named after good old Sam Malone from Cheers, one of my favorite shows, and Final Frontier is named after one of my favorite Sci-Fi shows, hence the USS Enterprise on the sign! The pub features a fireplace, dartboard, Star Wars Pinball. Final Frontier features all sorts of comics and collectables, including mini-models of a Millenium Falcon from Star Wars and a Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica. The various Star Wars weapons are from the excellent website http://www.brickarms.com, while the Cyberman head and Sonic Screwdriver are from Character Options Doctor Who line.

The Park Movie Theater And Tim Hortons

For my 2015 Winter Village addition I found inspiration from the other huge event happening at Christmas, the release of Star Wars The Force Awakens.  I decided to create a movie theater showing The Force Awakens.  Being Canadian, I decided to put a Tim Hortons beside it.  I borrowed the chandelier design from the fantastic Modular Building 10211 Grand Emporium set, and it hangs in the lobby of the theater.  The Park is named after a long-gone local theater that I have fond memories of, long before the multiplex theaters the Park was the best cinema in town!  The billboard is a shout out to my friends company Start, which is the best Internet service in town!

Gordon Ramsay’s Fish & Chips, North Pole Pets, and Wayne & Garth’s Apartment

I found the inspiration for my 2016 Winter Village creation while on vacation earlier in the year in Las Vegas.  Gordon Ramsay had just opened his newest restaurant Gordon Ramsay’s Fish & Chips on the Linq, and the minute I saw it I envisioned it in Lego!  The other half of the model features North Pole Pets, and below that is the North Pole apartment of Wayne and Garth, where they can film the Christmas Edition of Wayne’s World!
