The earliest Christmas villages were Nativity displays in homes and churches. Christians have been making and displaying statues that represent the birth of Jesus since the thirteenth century, if not earlier. — photo Francis Racine

Forget the Christmas tree and the decora- tions this holiday season. Something else as equally magical takes place in several of Cornwall’s houses. There, in basements or in living rooms, are erected Christmas villages. Intricately placed and organized, these small lifelike models of houses, people, animals and stores garnish the attention of whoever crosses their paths. For one Cornwall family, the ritual of putting their annual Christmas has become a true festive tradition. “It’s even become some sort of an addiction,” joked patriarch Ghislain Mayer. “I always try to add on to my collection.” Along with his daughter and his two sons, the man has erected a Christmas village, annually, for now close to 17 years. “I used to do it with themwhen they were very young,” he said, pointing to his daughter sitting next to her.
