A viewer told KSTP about an impressive Christmas collection from a Christmas Carol inside a Shoreview home.

The homeowners have a large Dickens Christmas Village from Department 56 spread out on many tables around the room. Santa bears line the stairs and fill the floors. And, novelty ornaments fill her tree’s branches.

They’ve been collecting the Department 56 Christmas Village since they first came out in 1979.

"The family comes in and they always call it the Christmas house. It’s like this is Christmas when they come here," Sue Zurn, from Shoreview, said.

Sue said she got started when she first saw them at Dayton’s during her time working in downtown St. Paul.
