I know: According to authentic retro etiquette, it’s way too early to talk Christmas decorations. But if you are thinking about doing fabulous things with vintage Shiny Brite ornaments, you only have so many days left to ornie-hoard and hot-glue. Or… if you know you are never gonna get this crafty yourself — here’s your chance to win our super famous annual giveaway: A vintage Shiny Brite ornament wreath made by the the queen of Shiny Brite crafting, the talented and generous Georgia Peachez. WOOT!
Every year, as a gift to readers, I buy a wreath from Suzy aka Georgia Peachez for this giveaway. Thank you, readers, for being THE BEST. I luv you! Suzy always jumps to help out. She gave me a great price (her wreaths now sell for $250! each!) — and quick as I asked, she made this special wreath just for us. She said:
Pam, I made a wreath with my two favorite elements, a knee hugger elf and a reindeer.
Heck to the yeah, knee hugger elf and reindeer! Thank you, Suzy!

Christmas begins when the Thanksgiving left overs are DONE ! Then it is on to a room in my basement that a friend dubbed, THE HOLIDAY ROOM . It houses more than just Christmas, but Christmas in the mother load.
Then on to deciding what can be displayed this year, as opposed to last. Always a challenge and always FUN !!

My two sons are 2 1/2 and 4 months. I love introducing the holiday season to them. Especially my 2 1/2 year old. We have a nativity play set and a Christmas village that allows us to be creative and get excited about Christmas. I also LOVE reading The Sweet Smell of Christmas. There is nothing cuter than seeing my son smell the stickers and say “mom smell Christmas!”

Oh little elf, little elf … Christmas really begins when we hear David Sedaris read “SantaLand Diaries” on NPR and hear the dulcet tones of “Billy Holiday” singing Away in a Manger.

We have missed a lot of traditional Christmases the last 10 yrs due to cancer, last year included. I bought a new tree last year, and well, just never got around to putting it away. I keep making new ornaments and putting them on the tree. I hope this year is a bit saner. If not, the tree will stay up until my family is healed.
