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!

My favorite part of the Christmas season is beginning/continuing traditions with my little family, and seeing my son’s face light up on Christmas morning when he sees the presents and Santa’s note to him. I dread the day he stops believing in magic…I’m especially excited to decorate this year because I found some amazing Shiny Brite ornaments last year as well a a vintage tree topper angel!

In our house Christmas is all about the outdoor lights. DH is from New Zealand where it’s summer in December and the sun sets way too late in the evening to make light displays feasible. So he delights in putting up our lights and seeing all the displays around our area.

I treasure ornaments passed on from my grandmothers. When I hang them on my tree I remember all the happy holidays we spent together. Now I give each of my three children a new ornament every year so they will have their own trees full of memories someday.

My mother is Japanese and a Buddhist, but when we moved back to the States in 1976 she went ‘whole hog’ with the Christmas decorating and mystique-of-Santa Claus for me and my little sister. And because Mom grew up in post-war Japan where there was so little in the way of every-day essentials, let alone anything extra special for children, she was determined to make our Christmases memorable. I love that the holiday was interpreted through the lens of a non-US born Japanese mother bombarded by cheesy 1970’s marketing, accomplished while on a Navy sailor’s budget! Go Mom!

I love seeing family members that I only see once a year and I love the lights and decorations!

My favorite part of the holidays is driving with my daughter to look at all of the holiday lights around town. Her face lights up with so much joy that I cant stand it.

These are just gorgeous! The best part of Christmas decorating for meisgetting my Grandmas vintage ornaments out and remembering them on her tree over 40 years ago as a child! I collect them when I find them at thrift shops. There is no other tree prettier than one that’s all vintage 🙂

Love how everyone is just a wee bit nicer, just in case Santa’s watching.
