First of all, thank you Miriam for sponsoring a place where so many people are able to showcase their talents. It is absolutely mind boggling to think of the hours, weeks, months and LOVE that went into each creation. There are so many talented and creative folks out there who have been able to showcase their villages thanks to you! I enjoyed every minute of the video.
You are so very welcome Kathleen! The contest is so much work but it is truly a labor of love. I love our group and I love to share this with all of you. It makes my heart happy. 😁
Totally awesome, everyone should be so proud of their villages. You can see all the hard work they put in them. I loved watching how each and everyone was so unique and seeing the world in there eyes. Each one was a winner in my book.
Amen!!! 😁
I am humbled and in awe of all the talent and imagination shown in every entry. Thank you Miriam for all of your hard work (and hubby too!). Thank you judges! It's looks like you are really going to have to nitpick not to have about 30 1st place winners! I have about 10 favorites. Merry Christmas everyone and now relax and enjoy your creations - that's the real point of all of this!!
You are so very welcome Shirley! I do feel the judges will have to rewatch several times to really narrow it down. Such beautiful work!!
Incredible job. Everyone should win because it's an impossible mission to pick just one. Good luck though.
I wish we could declare everyone winners too. I feel the same way. 😂🤣
Wow just wow!!
These are just incredible! The Styrofoam stone/brickwork on some of these are just amazing.
There are a few that are not only massive but also gorgeous! I am so jealous of the space you have!!!
And the smaller ones have such great details!
I loved #1 Polar Express theme! I saw it in the Artistry category and was wowed but you got to see even more of it in this one!
Great job everyone!! I have so many new ideas now! Love this community ❤️
I am so glad you enjoyed everyone’s creations! 😁
Extraordinaire is definitely the correct descripitve word for this category!! These entries are amazing I don't know how the judges will be able to choose. Cudos to the judges because this is quite an undertaking. To all of the contestants I am in awe of your creations and you are all winners. It is evident that this is a hobby you love and enjoy!! Miriam thanks again for providing a platform for other villagers to showcase their talent!! Merry Christmas everyone!!💖💖🌲
I completely agree with you Susan! You are very welcome, it is my pleasure!
This is my dream, to create my own Christmas village…these are so beautiful, even more beautiful than reality itself…merry Christmas everyone🎄🏵🙏
That’s so sweet. I hope you get your chance to create your own soon. 😁
These are all remarkable. Insane to think about how much time and talent these all took, i would have to say my favourite is contestant #20 @ 37:43 that is nuts.
Right, they are all so awesome. People have great skills.
Wow, what great villages and scenes! Thanks, Miriam! I now have all the ideas and inspiration I need- just lacking the money and talent 😊😉
You are welcome. Start small and watch it grow. 😄
Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to be able to magical shrink down and live in a cool tiny toy town! I think everyone does! I wish they would make a new movie withat theme... Downsizing took all the fun outta the concept!
😂🤣😂 very true!
The job you do inspire others, I like your work. I would like to enter in your next year contest. I love my village but I had a stroke but the village bring me so much joy. I lost Mt left side but I want to try and se if I can get the same joy as before the stroke.
Hello Helen, I’m so sorry to hear about your stroke. I have prayed that your joy and health be completely restored! 😁
I had a mini stroke fairly young at 56 I'm sure we will both be raring to go very soon hun . Best wishes to you 🎉
Oh my gosh! Everyone did a great job on their villages. I have definitely picked up so many ideas for my next village. While watching everyone's videos, I just kept thinking "Why didn't I think of this" or "Why didn't I do that!" Absolutely beautiful work on all villages and I wish all contestants Good Luck with their submissions. They are all truly Villages Extraordinare. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Miriam, thank you for all you do. You have truly brought out my inner creativity. It takes a special person to be able to do that. You are a true inspiration.
Proverbs 20:5- The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters,but one who has insight draws them out.
I am simply a vessel to draw out what God had already deposited. It’s been in you all along. What else is wrapped up waiting to find expression through you??? 😂😁
@@MiriamsManner Thank you for your insight then, and for your obedience to God! I just wonder why He waited so long to do this??? At 72, I'm running out of time! 🤣😂
Yay my friend Yvette WON! I saw her village in person and put a big ol smile on my face looking at and everything made me feel like a kid. All the detail & hard work.
All you guys did wonderful village’s.
That is awesome! You have such a lovely friend in Yvette!
I loved all of the villages. Watched the video several times so I could take it ALL in. AWESOME JOB!!! Everyone did a GREAT job! Extraordinaire! But.....I LOVED #12. Just LOVED it! You are all winners!
That’s so sweet of you to say! 😁
All the villages are Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure.
Well done to everyone across all 3 categories - a stellar job from everyone 👍
For me, some of the best villages were the smaller ones, need to be more creative to get it all in without looking crowded etc, but wow what i wouldn't give to have that amount space to put a village in 🤣.
Great job to you too Miriam, it's not a 5 minute thing to put videos together, especially at this time of the year when everyone is so busy, so thank you for doing that whilst we are all binging on Christmas movies lol.
Will it be possible for all contestants to find out their judges score? I know the top 3 were announced last year, but the feedback would be great
i was thinking the same thing about the score! since it would be great feedback
Hello, I’m not sure about that because I’m not even the one who is tallying the scores this year. One of my judges is handling all of that. It would be a lot to ask after the hours spent with judging. I will discuss it with my judges panel and get back with you guys.
I very much love this form of folk art. The villages are really beautiful and reflect a lot of creativity and hard work. My "village" is just a few Lemax buildings on the floor with a couple of Lionel trains going around them.
Thanks, me too
Just getting ideas for the upcoming year. These are fantastic ! Very talented people ! Thank You !
I agree! Thank you!

You have a great eye Veronica! Number 1 is actually a complete replica of polar express. All of the buildings were made by the contestant and everything in the village was also hand made. This took an entire year to build.
I am sooo excited! This is the one I have been waiting for, I’m typing this before I start-going to grab a drink and some popcorn- can’t wait! ❤❤❤
Yay!! I hope you loved watching every minute! 😁
Lots of great displays. Very talented people. Enjoyed seeing them all. Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome!
Oh my gosh- this is beautiful and there are so many new ideas too! Thanks, miriam, again for putting so much heart into this and also for bringing so much joy over christmas. I have really looked forward to everything you post. Nollaig shona duit from Ireland

You are welcome! 😁
I can't believe people do this every year. I would just never take it down. I am fascinated to know how they plug everything in.
😂🤣😂. Yes, it is a labor of love to do it every year.
I'd have to buy a massive shed so I could start making and keep it up all year long lol🎉
🎉wonderful to see are the buildings all hand built ?🎉 Do all these talented people have you tube channels please can you put links up 🎉❤🎉
Hello, some of the buildings were handmade the the contestants. I don’t think any of them have RUclips channels. None of them have told me anyway.
Gorgeous. Wish some of them had more closeups. Great job, everyone!!
👍🏽
How to pick a winner? They are all so beautiful. All winners in my books.
Dido!

Hey all…the other day Will Ferrell was on Jimmy Fallon with a Christmas village. Its on youtube and worth a watch. Too funny.
Oh my goodness, I will have to check that out! 😂
Love these but we had to stop watching because the camera move too fast for most. Would love to see some with slow cameras so we can delight in each part of the villages and take it in
Thanks so much for the feedback. I will be sure to make that announcement to the contestants for this years contest.
Will you be doing another village contest this year? What are the rules/requirements (& deadlines) for entry? ^ .^
Yes, the deadline is tomorrow. Attached is the video below with all the rules.

Are you going to do another video for this year's ons.....il win, seriously
I don’t understand your comment.
Hi Miriam, how do they make the blue glossy shiny water? They were all beautiful!
Hello Janice, can you give me the contestant number you are referring to so that I can see which style you mean? Thanks.
@@MiriamsManner Hi Miriam, thank you for responding to my question. Unfortunately, I didn't write the contestant number down.
Enjpyed all the displays .However,the background music was very aggravating and annoying. Had not stop watching around 22. Music was very disturbing,unfortunately.
I’m glad you enjoyed the displays, maybe try the mute button. 😁
Lol class reply. Some people are never happy.
