This is Santa's sleigh and toys.  There are animated dolls including the Coca Cola bear and, the gingerbread boy and girl.  As you can see the elves are hard at work to get all the toys out and ready for Santa. Also, the Santa Claus shown in this picture is over 50 years old.  It was designed and hand crafted by my great grandfather. Click on the picture to see more of Santa and his sleigh.

This is in the center of Winter Snowland.  The Christmas Express crosses over the river to make its deliveries. As you can see, the reindeer sits on the top of the bridge watching the people go by.  

The Holiday carolers stand in front of an old time lamp post singing Christmas carols.  The Holiday carolers really sing Christmas songs as people pass by.  In the back ground is the ice skating pond and the wishing well.

The ice skating pond has the ice skaters skating.  In front or on the side of the pond are two bears trying to get warm by the fire.  

The Christmas Express

There are four cars to the Christmas Express all different and animated. The Christmas Express makes real train sounds and has real smoke coming out of the smokestack.  The wheels of the train and the arms of the train are animated to go around.  On the engine of the Christmas Express is the engineer  waving hello as the train passes. The Coal car has holiday presents, toys and stuffed animals on it going for the ride. The box car has a animated elf inside working hard on Christmas toys.  The caboose is loaded with presents, toys and stuffed animals that sit on the porch of the car.  Click here to see the Christmas Express working.  MPG Move 2002

As you can see in the box car the elf is very busy doing his work.

The push train car is animated.  The bears on it go up and down as if they were really working it. Click here to see the train car work.  MPG Movie 2002

The kids love this part of the yard. This tells them how many days until Christmas.

The teeter-totter has been around for many years. This was added the 2nd year of the Holiday display.

This is one of the houses.  The rabbits in front are very hard at work. The window of the house seen in the back has a animated Christmas cat in it along with presents and a Christmas tree. Click the image to get a close up of the rabbits working.

This house has more animated windows.  The top window has a animated snowman in it.  Below and to your left is a window with a fireplace and stockings hanging over it.  To the right is a Christmas tree in the window. Click the image to get a look inside one of the house windows.

The lamplighter tries to light the lamp, but the animated ladder keeps making him fall back and forth.

The two reindeer drinking coffee make a great addition to the holiday display. They were made by my grandmother.  

And yes-the driveway even has decorations on it, too. Click here to see the nativity.  Nativity 2002.

The friendly snow family waves hello as people pass by. The arms on the two snowmen are animated to wave. Click here to see the Snow Family waving.  Snow family 2002

The three Angles on the roof have animated wings that flap back and forth.  They each hold a word that spells out "Peace On Earth."
