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 holidays is enjoying the smell of the Christmas tree while decorating with ornaments I’ve collected from family and friends. Thinking of them and the joy of the holidays gone by makes each year even more precious.

My favorite part of Christmas is the love and joy in the air and the memories you make especially when you see your kids faces opening the Christmas present early in the morning it’s priceless ;). It’s all about the love and sharing it!

I love Christmas everything. And the more kitsch, the happier it makes me! Plastic reindeer, aluminum trees, glitter, oddly shaped ornaments, anything vintage and colorful. Add some classic Christmas music, and I’m giddy as a schoolgirl! LOL!

Love Georgia Peachez’ wreaths!!!! Would sure love to have this one! It would make my sister so jealous. 😉
Not sure if my favorite thing about the holiday season is the fact that it includes my birthday or if it is just the constant repetition of some of the greatest retro holiday movies ever made!! Either way, it sure makes me one happy girl!

My favorite part of the holidays?? Peppermint ice cream and ginger ale floats! Can’t wait!

I love seeing the tree all lit up and decorated in the evenings. We keep the lights on a timer, so when I come home at night I can see the tree from outside too.
Judy says
I love Christmas because the kids are now living in different states and they all come home at the same time.

Family, friends, foods, traditions…..all the old memories and making new memories! What more could you want? Oh-vintage decorations, of COURSE!!! I have been collecting vintage decor and love displaying them! As I unpack and put them in their place, I love thinking of their story. Who gave it to me, who I was with when I found it, or visiting my past thru it. One of my favorite things is the Christmas music I grew up with. The red album!!!! I was able to download them so I could share them with my sisters and dad,whose record players are no longer. Watching the cool vintage pictures ya’ll post ALWAYS makes me squeal in delight and go check out more about it! Love the wreath, love the sight! Thanks for sharing all your cool things!

I love Advent even more than the actual Christmas season. For me, it’s the preparations and anticipation leading up to the big day that I adore. I play Christmas music to sing with my daughter (now 7) every day of Advent and Christmas. We can’t get enough of this time of year! I wish that in our culture, people didn’t tear everything down after the 25th. If we truly celebrated the 12 days of Christmas, ending with the Feast of the Epiphany, I would be thrilled.
