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 season are all of the traditions, especially unpacking the ornaments and remembering loved ones who celebrated with us. The wreath looks very much like the ornaments I loved as a girl. I would be so happy to display this in my home!

What I love most about Christmas — the homemade gifts we all make for each other, and the love that was put into each effort. 🙂 (My 8 kids, aged 28-10, make the majority of the gifts they give to each other.) One year I made family pj’s for all 10 of us! 🙂

My favorite part of Christmas is celebrating the birth of our Savior – the whole reason we have Christmas! I also love decorating the house and scouring the thrift stores for the perfect vintage Christmas treasure.

I love that so many friends and family are in town and there are so many opportunities to see them. Christmas inspires people to get together more than any other time of year! (Also gives me an excuse to break out all my fab vintage dishes and serving pieces!)

I love all the lights and decorations. If someone puts up 4 lights or 10,000, I love them all.

I would love to win this wreath! My favorite part of the holidays is remembering holidays past. I loved everything about 60s and 70s Christmases. I try to recreate that by snapping up vintage holiday items at antique shops, etc. I keep hoping my mom’s things hold up long enough for me to inherit them. I frame old holiday photos, watch old holiday family movies and the “good” Christmas movies (Holiday Inn, Bells of St. Mary’s, It’s a Wonderful Life, Elf) and make the old fashioned pressed cookies with my mother. Yes, live in the past – but to me, those were simpler holiday times and those memories bring me the most enjoyment.

Now that I have a three year old granddaughter, the holidays have taken on renewed meaning. My extended family always gets together either on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, but there’s nothing like the look of joy on a little girl’s face when she comes downstairs on Christmas morning to a pile of presents and a delicious and special breakfast. Yesterday she said to me, “Nana, I LOVE Santa!”

My favorite part of the Holidays are the memories that come back while we are creating new ones.
It is truly a most wonderful time of the year.
