At this time of year, do your hobby skills get repurposed into making winter or Christmas decorations, ornaments, dolls, dollhouses, etc.? I have already broken Jesus' head (twice), laser-cut ornaments are a bit delicate! |

I generally find ways to repurpose holiday/winter decorations for wargaming purposes |

No. Or at least not often. Relatives have been known to request help with decorations, but as often for Halloween as Christmas. For myself, the Christmas decorations are in a box. I'll put them up the weekend following Thanksgiving, and take them down about New Year's Day. The Present (Volume 1 of the Collected Jorkens) is on order, and will be wrapped and placed under the tree on arrival. The kids' presents will be shipped directly to them. Getting a little old to be surprised by an annual event. |

I've lost the distinction between "wargaming as holiday decor" and "holiday decor as wargaming" …

I used to have to paint the pewter figures my wife bought to populate her Christmas village (probably about 20 mm). They stopped selling them some years ago, so I eventually got them all done. Nothing new has cropped up since. Grelber |

I'm painting laser-cut wooden Christmas ornaments. My wife collects some of my 15mm buildings for her Christmas shelf display. |

Yes, as I'll have to repair anything that gets broken. |
