Who Brings Their Jersey Village Collectibles out Just for the Holidays?

We have been told a terrible rumor. Is it true? Do some people bring out their Jersey Cat’s Meow collectibles only for the holidays? Read on….

Yes, we have been told many people bring out their Cat’s Meow Village keepsakes specifically for the holiday season. These collectible wooden village pieces, often depicting nostalgic scenes and charming buildings, are especially popular for creating festive displays during Christmas and other holidays. Collectors enjoy setting them up as part of seasonal decor, often combining them with miniature lights, snow accents, and holiday-themed accessories. However, some people may also display parts of their collection year-round, depending on their preferences and the pieces’ themes.
