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!

I like the run-up to Christmas almost more than the day itself. Lately I’ve been covertly listening to holiday music. I think it’s that much more fun before it saturates the TV and radio.

I love decorating and listening to Christmas music on vinyl to get my kids and everyone in the mood. And this year I have a full-fledged stereo console to use!
Sue says
The best part of the holiday for me is watching my mom (who’s 87) decorate the house for the holidays. It’s truly a labor of love for her as each room slowly comes together and takes shape over the course of many weeks. While I help with the tree and the more labor intensive duties, the ideas and inspiration come strictly from her. It gives both of us great pleasure to see the house looking so magical when family and friends come over during the holidays.

Best part of Christmas is after Santa comes we eat! Thanks for the wreath! I know I will just love it.
Ginger Clark says
Suzy, I love your wreaths they bring the magic!
Cindy says
I love being with my family. I have grandchildren now and seeing the excitment of Christmas thru their eyes is the best gift ever.
Shannon says
I am so grateful that we get to spend Christmas in the house that my husband’s aunt and uncle raised their family in. Now we live here. The house was built in the early 40’s and the add on where we have the tree and most of our decorations was built in the 50’s. We love it!
Joel says
My favorite thing about the holiday season is spending the time (in advance, no last-minute shopping for me) picking up meaningful gifts (which don’t have to be expensive) for those who are important to me.

We need a new wreath, new wreaths if truth be told, and these would stand out in our community!

– watching people open the presents I’ve given (usually something I’ve made)
– unpacking the vintage candle holders that were my grandparents. They’re santas in the awesome 50s style, the finish crackled with age. I just love them.
