Terry Campbell holds a magnifying glass up to his right eye. A light shines from it as he reads information from a sheet of paper.

91裸聊视频淗undred and eighty-four people91裸聊视频� 73 animals91裸聊视频� there91裸聊视频檚 391 trees91裸聊视频� 28 birds91裸聊视频� and 76 structures.91裸聊视频�

He91裸聊视频檚 counting all the items that make up the display of Christmas miniatures which takes up the entire dining room in his Chilliwack home.

The attention to detail is incredibly impressive, especially considering his eyesight.

91裸聊视频淗e has been legally blind since 2018,91裸聊视频� his wife Kay said.

The Christmas miniatures display started back in 2007 when Terry still had decent vision. They were out shopping around Christmastime and Kay saw a small display of some miniature buildings set up in a store in Maple Ridge.

91裸聊视频淪he said 91裸聊视频業 really like those.91裸聊视频� And I thought 91裸聊视频楾hat91裸聊视频檚 good because you91裸聊视频檙e getting them for Christmas now,91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� he recalled. 91裸聊视频淚 didn91裸聊视频檛 have her Christmas present yet.91裸聊视频�

He bought her three buildings 91裸聊视频� a pet shop, a chapel and an art gallery 91裸聊视频� plus 21 trees.

That small display grew slowly over the next 15 years to what it is today: a winter wonderland of tiny, snowy scenes that one could almost step right into.

A ski lift moves chairs and gondolas up and down a mountain while, at the bottom, a parade marches through the village. The train rolls around Santa91裸聊视频檚 lit-up amusement park and then through a tunnel. Across the village, people are ice skating and playing hockey, while others stay warm beside tiny campfires. There are rows and rows of houses and shops, plus a fire station, an outdoor stage, the 91裸聊视频楰OLD91裸聊视频� radio station and so much more.

Many things light up, play music or make sounds.

It is magical.

91裸聊视频淚 tried to keep it somewhat realistic in terms of how would a town be laid out,91裸聊视频� Terry said.

All of the roads and walkways connect. It is built with stairs and ramps so the figurines, if they were real, could access every area of the village.

Terry needs to be within inches of what he91裸聊视频檚 working on to see things clearly.

Years ago, his right eye was his bad eye. In 2018, he got an infection in his left eye and his retina was removed. Now he can91裸聊视频檛 see anything out of his left eye.

91裸聊视频淭he other eye was his bad eye, now it91裸聊视频檚 the good eye,91裸聊视频� Kay said.

For the past four years, Terry has been legally blind.

People are considered legally blind if their best eye has 20/200 vision or less with the help of glasses or contact lenses. Someone with 20/200 vision means they cannot be more than 20 feet away to see what a person with normal vision can see from 200 feet away.

Terry still works part time at Home Depot in the outdoor lot. He can see larger objects well enough to identify them, but he can91裸聊视频檛 see details or describe what people are wearing or what they look like.

91裸聊视频淚 can find the people and I can avoid the cars, so that91裸聊视频檚 really what I need to do there.91裸聊视频�

Despite his poor vision, it doesn91裸聊视频檛 stop Terry from continuing to add to the Christmas display every year.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 a challenge. Anytime I have something that challenges me because of my eyesight, I decide 91裸聊视频榃ell, let91裸聊视频檚 take a shot at it, see how bad I screw it up.91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�

On the day The Chilliwack Progress visited the Campbells, there was one tree knocked over in the village, and that was it.

91裸聊视频淗e does all the setup himself and he91裸聊视频檚 a perfectionist, too,91裸聊视频� Kay said.

The display has actually been up for much longer than expected because of a few issues: a foam mountain they made for the ski hill took longer than expected to build, there was a flood in their basement where they store all the miniatures, and COVID.

91裸聊视频淚 haven91裸聊视频檛 had my dining room for, well, it91裸聊视频檒l be three years after Christmas this year,91裸聊视频� Kay said.

It91裸聊视频檚 not just the Campbells who91裸聊视频檝e enjoyed it over the past several Christmases. Every year they open their door to neighbours, family, friends and sometimes visitors in their housing complex to come and take a peek.

91裸聊视频淚 do it as much for the seniors as I do for the kids,91裸聊视频� Terry said.

And he does it because he loves it so much and it91裸聊视频檚 fun, he added.

91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 why I still do woodworking, too, and I still have all 10 fingers.91裸聊视频�

The Christmas miniatures display will be taken down after the holidays this year and will go back up again next year. It takes about two to three months to set it up.

Kay is looking forward to that day.

91裸聊视频淪he would like to have her dining room back. She91裸聊视频檚 been very patient, I understand that,91裸聊视频� Terry said with a smile.
