Mr. Peterson just got his Christmas tree. Do you have anything special set up for the Christmas season on your layout?

Yep. Sunny Southern California, crica 1957
Below is an overview of the full layout. Lately I've been working on finishing the city streets:
I love the suburb setting you have there.... not many modelers dedicate that amount of area to something like that.... i love the uniqueness of the modelling you did
That's the kind of suburb I wish I lived in. My reality doesn't have near that much yard space...
Considering that I model a specific month in a country where Christianity is an almost invisible minority, Christmas isn't likely to happen. And, since the month stops and resets three months short of New Year's Day, that isn't likely to happen either.

Eh? LION has been in Japan, and him *knows* that Christmas is almost as big a deal (in the shopping districts) as it is in Walmartville.
Christianity is 10%, but, surprise... more than 40% percent of the people celebrate marriage in the Christian Tradition

While they usually enjoy the hospitality at the boarding house up there on the mountain, they'd rather gather around the hearth with family on Christmas eve...

I was thinking the same thing. Clearly, you derive a lot of satisfaction from the modeling aspect of the hobby. Terrific effort!
And to answer the OP's question.... not on my main layout, but I've designed (and hope to built next year) a 2'x4' static display of a Christmas setting.

Matt, the 'drapery', for lack of a better word right now, that covers the underside of the layout looks very neat. Did you make those or buy them ready made?

Coquihala and Rock Creek: ...I take it their are living in California?
My mom made the "drapes" many years ago back when my dad started this HO layout in 1973.
Over the years the layout has been upgraded and many things have changed. In the last few years, when I have time, I've been working on it . My latest projects include: improved roads, a new residential neighborhood, a new military base, and simplifying wiring.
Lee, very nice snow and overall winter scene. Looks very realistic.
Wolfgang, that big one looks like Santa's sleigh. Nice detailing in this scene. I like the chain link fence.

Is it my eyes, or is the guy too big or the car too small? Christmas with no snow?? is this Florida?
Great scene without my caustic remarks.
My remark belies my location in the Southern part of Northern North America.

What kind of car is that? It looks like an old Vanguard. We had one when I was a Kid. Great job by the way.

tatansIs it my eyes, or is the guy too big or the car too small?
Not sure? Both are supposedly HO scale. I think the guy is a little on the husky side.
The car is a Classic Metal Works 1953 Ford Country Squire Wagon in Fern Mist Green and the guy is a Woodland Scenics figure that came with their Suds & Shine set.
I found this online photo of a similar body style 1956 Ford Country Squire wagon with people next to it for use as a size comparison:
I realized that I forgot to put a license plate on this car. So here is another angle showing the new plate:
