I thinks it falls in the category of "folk art"...Im sure it will become a heirloom!

well I finally got my tree decorated...its been up for a week with just lights...it was pretty just like that also...I thought my Realtor friends would like how I decorate my tree with houses...LOL

Your tree is lovely!

My parents had very similar houses that would go under the tree - those things were OLD. I'm sure my brother has them now and has sold them on eBay.

You're all making me sick - makes me feel like putting a tree up (yes, we have them!). I just don't want to go through having to pack it all back up...a definite sign of aging....Perhaps some year I'll get to a point of doing it - even if it's just a little tree so I can say, "whew, actually lived another year!"

Nice Ditty. We have a number of teachers and former teachers in the family. As a result, we have a ton of apple, desk, chalkboard ornaments. Too funny about the houses.
