Since having babies we've started our family traditions in addition to carrying on ones we've grown up with. For this holiday season, we've been thinking about setting up a winter village in the window but don't love the traditional decorations we've seen.
This modern take on a winter village is just what we're looking for. Gather a few of these and weave in some tree lights and you're done. These poplar houses are available at Etsy seller somethingshidinghere's shop.

I love these.
I really wish I could find a modern manger scene. My mother and my mother-in-law keep on buying what they think is a modern manger scene and its more country.....eww.

I like these as toys or blocks, but not for a winter village. Too 'unwintery'.

These are kinda cute, but they strike me as very building blockish. I've been using my husband's hand-me-down winter village and while it's fine, something that's more "us" (both in the houses and in the nativity) would be awesome.

Modern Nativity Scene

Warning, it's $1500.00. Could be something to commission from a crafter though!

Angus,
Thanks. While that is insanely out of my budget it could serve as inspiration. I do have a crafty uncle in Nashville that is retired.
