That's all for this year's castle. Other photos are at the linked Flickr set.
Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas to you all!

Wow, absolutely stunning! So impressive! :love:
-
It's wonderful!
My favourite parts are the elves making the wreathes, and the elves painting the toys.
I also love the way the toy racing cars are arranged in the crate, and all those small toys lined up on the brown shelves. (And you must have had so much patience doing that, getting the toy animals lined up so nicely, and persuading the teddy bears that they would like to stand up and stay standing, even when another one is put on the shelf next to them.) And all the baskets and boxes of similar toys underneath the shelves. Oh, and the gift-wrapping elves are great too!
The tall greenhouse and the plants are superb, and the ice-skater on the ice is so cleverly done. And I love the santas, of course!
-
It is wonderful with great scenes wherever you look. The little frozen pond is very nice!! :love:
Excellent job for one more year Tim!! Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!! :)

Lovely, as always :love:
Isn't the ice skater cold?! She made ME cold!
And the reindeer eating the donut! :P Great one :)
The lighted xmas tree looks great... And so many so busy little elves...
I really like the elf painting the dolls.. that's a great idea.
And the little robot with the elf hat ;D
That room full of toys is amazing! Looks great with so many :love:
Loved Santa's surfboard in the attic :)
And there's a snowball fight! Brilliant! (I MUST copy that idea sometime :-[ )
The glass gardens are gorgeous, and so is that little round tower :love:
AWESOME! :love: :love:

Very nice again, Tim 8-)
The "Santa production", lol
Merry Christmas!

Every year, Tim, you raise the stakes!
What I especially like about this year is the way you show the process of the toy making in such detail.
The frozen pond is outstanding with the reflections and the positioning of the figure.
The figure in picture 11 looks as if he's in for a sad Christmas!
In picture 15, the before and after nativity scenes is a beautiful piece of detail.
The electronic Santa is a master stroke - now we know how he delivers all the presents on time!
The glass house for the Christmas plants fits in so well with the architecture of the castle, it deserves a World Heritage Architecture Award for blending old and new.
And there's so much more......

Thanks for the nice comments everyone, it was fun as always to do. Hope you are all having a great holiday!

A very impressive dio Tierman, i have to look at it some more times to see it all. I love the robot santa's.
-
Once again a Christmas masterpiece! I look forward to this every year!
-
Splendid! Marvellous! :love: :love: :love: :wow:
What a gorgeous building with so many rooms to discover. You've even thought of storage rooms! I love the greenhouse and the elves cafeteria (of course they need a cafeteria!), and all those little scenes like the reindeer being offered something to drink or having a little snack on the terrace.
I still think the mirror functioning as a frozen pond is a brilliant idea.
Steck and snow, the perfect combination ;D

Another work of genius. I, too, love the robot elf, and see through santa. I love how you incorporated all of those toys that pour out of the boxes with the santas, those dolls seem to be everywhere. I also love the multi story greenhouse, and we know where the millions of poinsettias come from every year. Your bakery goods stash is impressive, looks yummy.
My xxl santa is waving to everyone in my front window on the first floor above the street level, and because we live near a high tourist area here in SF, I have seen folks taking photos of him in the window.
