Nestled in the heart of the rolling hills, where snowflakes dance in the winter breeze and twinkling lights illuminate every corner lies the enchanting town of Fabville. This quaint Christmas village isn’t like any other holiday destination; it’s a place born from a dream, a dream that began when its creator, Sharonshesofabulous, was just a child. “I can remember being a little girl who was in awe of a tiny village that sat on the coffee table of one of the older ladies in my neighborhood. I remember promising myself that one day I would have a Christmas village just like it one day.”, Sharon said.
A Dream Takes Root
Sharon is a YouTube creator who has wowed 107,000 and counting subscribers for years with her flare for home decorating, makeup and hair tips, and everything else in between. Everyone knows how creative and imaginative Sharon is, but no one was expecting Fabville. “I remember the first time I imagined Fabville,” Sharon says, her voice beaming with nostalgia and excitement. “I was no older than seven, sitting there with nothing more than my imagination. I imagined myself sipping hot cocoa, as I visualized magical places where people could experience Christmas all year long. I wanted to create a place like that. A place filled with love, joy, and a touch of magic.”, Sharon said.
That simple childhood wish would eventually grow into something far greater than Sharon could have ever dreamed.
Sharon She So Fabulous, now a woman of many talents and a heart brimming with holiday spirit, recalls how she spent years imagining a village where the magic of Christmas could come to life every day. But it wasn’t until a decade ago, after years of hard work and perseverance, that her dream took shape—literally.
From Vision to Reality
Fabville isn’t just a town; it’s an experience, a living testament to Sharon’s childhood imagination. Each corner of the village radiates warmth, festivity, and a sense of wonder. It is also a representation of the warmth and kindness of those who follow Sharon She So Fabulous, as Fabville was literally built for the people and by the people. Fabville is truly a family affair as Sharon’s better half Ron serves as the Alderman of the town alongside Sharon who serves as the town’s Mayor. Sharon’s children also use their talents to help maintain Fabville.
The town’s main street is lined with cozy, snow-covered cottages, their windows adorned with sparkling garlands and wreaths. The scent of freshly baked gingerbread cookies wafts through the air as the sound of carolers fills the streets, creating a soundtrack of joy. And everywhere you look, there’s magic—a playful elf peeking out from behind a lamppost, twinkling fairy lights in every tree, and a town square dominated by a majestic Christmas tree that reaches toward the sky, and there is even an elusive pig, that residents have the time of their lives seeking.
But what sets Fabville apart from other holiday-themed villages isn’t just its picturesque beauty. It’s the way it makes people feel, and the level of dedication and ownership people around the world have taken in the town. People from all over the United States sent Sharon buildings, trees, snow, airports, post offices, miniature people, automobiles benches and everything else the town needs. But the residents of Fabville come from all over the world. Many are from Canada, Australia, South Africa and even India.
“We built Fabville on the foundation of love,” Sharon explains, her voice full of emotion. “The idea was never just about creating a Christmas village—it was about creating a space where people feel welcome, where they can escape the chaos of the world and experience something truly special.”, Sharon said. Sharon also spoke about how every building has a special meaning to the person who sent it. “Many of our homes, shops and businesses are dedicated to those who have passed on. Families purchase buildings for Fabville, to memorialize their loved ones.’, Sharon said. “I love the fact that I can share in keeping the memories of the loved ones of so many people alive. It is just so special, and I am so happy so many people trust me with that awesome responsibility, Sharon said.
A Town of Tradition and Heart
Fabville thrives on traditions that warm the heart. Every year, the village hosts a “Festival of Lights,” a magical event where residents and visitors gather to light the Christmas tree and share stories of love and kindness. The village has its own Santa, of course, but this isn’t just Santa. He’s the “Santa of Fabville,” a kind-hearted man with a twinkle in his eye and a laugh that spreads joy wherever he goes.
And then there’s the legendary “Christmas Wishes,” a tradition started by Sharon herself. Every year, people from all over the world send in their Christmas wishes. Some are simple, like “I wish for good health,” while others are more whimsical, such as “I wish for a unicorn to take me to the North Pole.” No wish is too big or too small in Fabville, and Sharon believes that every wish holds the potential for magic.
“We believe that anything is possible here,” she says with a grin. “Fabville is proof that dreams can come true. It’s the magic of believing in something bigger than yourself.” Sharon said. Sharon is far too humble to realize, much less believe that she is a major part of the magic, and the love people feel.
The Magic of Fabville
What makes Fabville even more extraordinary is the way its residents embody the love and magic Sharon envisioned as a child. The town isn’t just built on lights and decorations; it’s built on the hearts of its people. Families from near and far come to live in the village, drawn by its spirit of togetherness and community. Many of them say they bought houses in the town because they were inspired by the dream of a town where Christmas never ends. Fabville is a happy place for many of the residents of Fabville. The Fabville online community is the one place they can go to find genuine love, kindness, and an escape from the rigors of the real world.
“Fabville is a place where kindness is contagious according to one of Fabville’s residents. “We all help each other, and that’s what makes this town feel so magical. It’s like we’re all part of one big family, and every day feels like Christmas.”
Even though Fabville is primarily known for its Christmas spirit, the village is a year-round haven for those who seek peace and joy. The village hosts monthly events that bring the community together, from Snowman Building Contests to Valentine’s Day Lantern Festivals. Yet, no matter what the occasion, the spirit of Christmas lingers in the air, reminding everyone who visits that magic and love can be found, not just during the holiday season, but every single day.
A Dream Come True
Looking back, Sharon can hardly believe how far Fabville has come. What began as a dream shared with her grandmother in front of a crackling fire has grown into a place that touches the hearts of thousands. Sharon’s vision of a village built on love and magic has not only become a reality but a living, breathing testament to the power of dreams.
“Sometimes I walk down Main Street at night, when the lights are twinkling, and I feel this overwhelming sense of gratitude,” she says, her voice soft with emotion. “This village is more than just a place—it’s a reminder that anything is possible, that love, and magic truly exist if you believe in them.”
As for the future of Fabville, Sharon’s dream shows no signs of slowing down. “Fabville will always be a place where magic is real and love is at the center of everything,”Shaeon says. “As long as there are people who believe in the spirit of Christmas, Fabville will keep shining bright.” Everyone should have the opportunity to feel the magic of Fabville. Where else can you be entertained, feel a sense of community, and be wrapped up in the true spirit of Christmas for free.
