Getting Ready For Santa

This was a purchased unfinished plywood box with a lid, and a Plexiglas insert that allowed a view from two sides. I covered the exterior with red fleece and trimmed it with ribbon. I made a false angled wall out of foam core board to hide future wiring for lights on the tree. The interior walls were painted, after covering them with mat board. I used the same fleece on the floor, and added a fireplace. The tree branches are made of pieces of eucalyptus. I plan to add flicker lights in the fireplace.

The big brother is hanging stockings on the mantel. The sister is watching her little brother hang candy canes on the tree, while she holds one to hand to him.
