Meet the Publisher

I'm Ben, an avid collector of Department 56 villages—including Dickens’ Village, Christmas in the City, Seasons Bay, Alpine Village, and the delightful Snow Village Easter and Valentine’s collections—my love for village displays runs deep. For years, Village D-Lights Magazine has been a favorite source of inspiration, creativity, and community. When the opportunity came to purchase the magazine, I didn’t hesitate. I knew I wanted to help carry this beloved publication into its next exciting chapter. My mission is to honor the legacy of Village D-Lights while adding new energy, digital access, and more ways for our international community to connect and celebrate the joy of villaging.Whether you're a seasoned collector or just discovering the magic, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s build something beautiful—one lighted window at a time.
