Christmas village

On the way home from a New Year’s Day trip to Philadelphia for the Mummers’ Parade, I decided to go a little out of the way to visit Koziar’s Christmas Village, a seasonal attraction for more than 60 years near Reading, Pa. I found out about the place a couple of years ago and I’ve been trying to visit ever since. The village is a family farm that is covered with decorations. Visitors follow a path through various displays. Scattered around are gift shops and snack concessions where I found several penguin ornaments.
