Photos of your retro holiday decor — 400+ images already here!

pam kueber - December 18, 2011, Updated: November 28, 2012

retro christmas decorationsWow, in the past two holiday seasons, more than 400 readers submitted photos of their decorations — sparkling and twinkling and otherwise happifying your home this year. For the slide show, I’m starting with the 2010 submissions already in place. Goodness, we have quite a library of vintage holiday decor. Photo submissions are now closed for this year — but we’ll do it again in 2012, so take lots of photos! Above: A photo submitted this week from Betty Crafter‘s happy and colorful Kitschmas.

And… here are the slide shows:

    I’m a millennial, but a serious lover of midcentury style. Last Christmas, my mom let me photograph some of her holiday stash, including this beauty: http://www.handsoccupied.com/2013/11/how-to-vintage-style-santa/. I put it together in tutorial form in case anyone wants to replicate this easy, weird, wonderful, amazing, crazy vintage Santa craft.

    LOVE your blog!

    Hi! Can anyone shed any light an those amazing Santa cookies?? How would you go about decorating a cookie like that? It almost looks like the faces on drawn on with something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I NEED to make those!

    I thought I uploaded a tree pic last year but can’t find it in the slide show…here’s this year’s fun. My tree isn’t vintage, sadly, but I live in hope I’ll find one I can afford some year!
