This is what my wife does every Christmas. The village is about 8' wide and 4' high, and has 26 electrical plug-ins. It even has a train that runs under the mountain, a ski gondola that goes back and forth, ice skaters that go around and around, and some hobos warming themselves by a fire. When it's lit up at night it really is quite spectacular.
She puts hours and hours into setting it up. My contribution is getting the boxes down for her and making Rum & Egg Nogs.
