Others use their creative spark to create something grander, and more unique.This time around, the festive season was an outlet for those individuals to completely deck their homes in bold, majestic, winter wonderland themes that look straight out of a movie.

Tony Williams, a retired helicopter pilot, began collecting a few pieces here and there of miniature trains and small “buildings”. Over the years the collection grew, and instead of having parts scattered around the house, Williams decided to arrange them altogether to make a miniature Christmas village.

For over five years, it has been a tradition to set up a miniature village in the middle of his living room, complete with moving trains and light switches — some of which he had to fix himself.
