There is no time of year that Ida Macaulay likes better than Christmas. Her 'Christmas Fantasy Lands' were once housed in her sunroom but her collection has grown so much that, this season, she had to find a venue big enough to hold it. "I was so fortunate that Southampton's 'Just New Releases' video store offered the front window area to me," she says. Her husband built a two-tiered display platform that includes a circular train track.

Macaulay has been collecting Christmas memorabilia for several years and now has friends and families who also bring her Christmas items. "I hope everyone will stop by on Friday after the Santa Claus parade and enjoy the fantasy of Christmas," says Macaulay. "I try to create something that every age will enjoy, from tiny tots to adults." Scrolling stops when you move your mouse inside the scroll area. You can click on the ads for more
