Her village has sections such as a commercial area, then a section for Santa and the North Pole, assuming her cats don't destroy it.house but that is really big. So sometimes it's a little hard and the scale is a little off on that one," said Nurse.
Graeme Dymond built a scene from the movie Elf using Duplo, the larger version of Lego meant for toddlers.

The holiday village alone is 20 metres long, and there are a number of local builds too — including Citadel Hill and Woody the Christmas Tree.
Eileen Nurse builds a winter village out of Lego every year, with the help of her grandchildren. It's no surprise to Dymond that these winter themes are so popular in Canada, and other places with snowy, chilly winter seasons., this kind of like cozy time.... And Denmark being the home of Lego, it's very apropos to lean into this idea," said Dymond.
