My wife and I discovered a shop in Granby, CT (yes, I grew up there and never visited this place!). Once we stepped into the shop, we knew it would be a place where we will return during the holidays. They have some wonderful displays set up. The rest of the village shops have a "country store" feel to them, where you could find anything you might not expect to find there. They also have a furniture shop. I took some photos of the displays: You can find them off of Rt. 10 and 202 in Granby, CT at the Mechanicsville Road intersection.
