Yes. This one broke too. Long story. New link posted above! All entries so far count.
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 holiday is spending time with my family! I also really enjoy all of the traditions we have (like going to a Christkindl Market, eating Chinese food and watching A Christmas Story on Christmas eve and waking up on Christmas morning to make a bacon and egg quiche!)

I love giving Christmas gifts, decorating, holiday parties with friends and family, and the fact that nobody acts like an a-hole around the holidays.

Gah! I must have this beautiful, bright hunk of shine in my life this holiday season! It is the best!! My favorite part of the season is spending time with my family – baking, eating, shopping, gift giving… I love it all!! 🙂

I love everything about Christmas but I love just sitting by the tree, with just the tree lights on and reflecting on the season and all the fun and love that goes with it. My job is crazy and fast paced but that time in the evening to me is what I look forward to during the holiday season.

I love all things shiny brite!

I like giving to other people through Christmas Angel projects and donating holiday foods to the food pantry. My family doesn’t need anything, but so many people do.

My favorite part of the holiday season is cooking with my grandmother. Each Christmas she lays out a spread like you wouldn’t believe, and we’re not even a big family! She’s getting much older and it’s hard for her to cook, but she does so anyway because she loves it. Her chicken and dumpkings are my favorite!!

Every vacation, we buy an ornament to hang on the tree. When we trim the tree, it’s a walk down memory lane!

We do mid-century Christmas here every year. Mercury glass and wax ornaments. Bubble lights. Tinsel trees (can’t afford an aluminum one…yet!). Those neat-o spinning color wheels for the tree. We do it up! I guess what I love so much about it is the fact that all these things remind me of Christmas at my grandma’s house. She passed around 7 years ago, and I try to keep the traditions she put in place alive. 🙂
