ABSTRACT:
A rigid decorative shell (20) is provided for surrounding a display stand (22) which holds an upstanding element such as a Christmas tree (24) or display pole. The decorative shell (20) is formed of a first section (28) and a nestable second section (30). The first (28) and second (30) sections each render the general shape of a mountain village, and include a plurality of receiving areas (56) to which model structures (58) can be attached. A light bulb (70) is positioned within each model structure (58) to project light through windows and doorways. An annular shelf (50) provides an area for a model railroad track (52) and train (54). Male (82) and female (84) interlocking elements are located on the first (28) and second (30) sections for releasably connecting their left (36) and right (38) side edges together to restrain the first (28) and second (30) sections in an opposing operational relationship enshrouding the display stand (22). The male (82) and female (84) interlocking elements allow the decorative shell (20) to be conveniently installed over a fully erected display stand (22), and permit ready access to the erected display stand (22) in the event the Christmas tree (24) requires readjustment or other attention.
