A Trip to Santa's Village Part 2

Three more images from a visit to Santa's Village at Lake Arrowhead. First up is a nice shot of Santa's house. I love the color of the house and the wild mushrooms.

Next up are two shots of the Christmas Tree. The thought that the tree is behind glass like an altar or piece of art is really cool. Being behind glass meant the tree was always fresh and green.

Here is a close up, but it is rather shaky and out of focus. I am going to assume a sudden gust of wind hit the photographer.

My mom used to have a couple of tree ornaments... they looked very similar to that tree temple (complete with a tiny snow-covered tree inside); the top of the ornament was clear plastic instead of a shake roof, but I wonder if that temple isn't supposed to be a giant ornament?

That really is a unique and cool way to display a Christmas tree. Hmmmm. Maybe the tree is...dangerous...

The Santa House is awesome as are the mushrooms.

It's probably because of sudden gusts of wind that the tree is behind glass.

I remember when my family went to Santa's Village in 1981. We sat on a bench and ate bubble gum ice cream while admiring that tree! I am making an educated guess that the tree was alive inside of that glass enclosure.
