It's wonderful!

My favourite parts are the elves making the wreathes, and the elves painting the toys.

I also love the way the toy racing cars are arranged in the crate, and all those small toys lined up on the brown shelves. (And you must have had so much patience doing that, getting the toy animals lined up so nicely, and persuading the teddy bears that they would like to stand up and stay standing, even when another one is put on the shelf next to them.)  And all the baskets and boxes of similar toys underneath the shelves.  Oh, and the gift-wrapping elves are great too!

The tall greenhouse and the plants are superb, and the ice-skater on the ice is so cleverly done. And I love the santas, of course!

Lovely, as always  :love:

Isn't the ice skater cold?! She made ME cold!

And the reindeer eating the donut!  :P  Great one :)

The lighted xmas tree looks great... And so many so busy little elves...

I really like the elf painting the dolls.. that's a great idea.

And the little robot with the elf hat  ;D

That room full of toys is amazing! Looks great with so many  :love:

Loved Santa's surfboard in the attic  :)

And there's a snowball fight! Brilliant!  (I MUST copy that idea sometime  :-[ )

The glass gardens are gorgeous, and so is that little round tower  :love:

AWESOME!  :love: :love:

Every year, Tim, you raise the stakes!

What I especially like about this year is the way you show the process of the toy making in such detail.

The frozen pond is outstanding with the reflections and the positioning of the figure.

The figure in picture 11 looks as if he's in for a sad Christmas!

In picture 15, the before and after nativity scenes is a beautiful piece of detail.

The electronic Santa is a master stroke - now we know how he delivers all the presents on time!

The glass house for the Christmas plants  fits in so well with the architecture of the castle, it deserves a World Heritage Architecture Award for blending old and new.

And there's so much more......
