Vintage Christmas trees

We had our first 'dump' of snow this week.

It was beautiful.

I actually love our winters.

I'll not say that the first time I have to drive on icy roads, though.

I wish these were old family photos but they are not.

They are from the internet because I don't have one vintage photo from Christmases past when I was a child.

We had magical Christmas trees covered with garland and icicles. There was always a huge star at the top and our lights would twinkle. The shiny, glittery ornaments filled the tree along with peppermint

candy-canes. Those ornaments now hang on my trees.

Did people not take photos of all the hoopla in the 50's and 60's? 

Obviously,  my family did not. *such a shame*

                                                               I'd say this guy did alright.

Hope your holiday planning is still on track. The days are getting busier now with more cat-sitting, birthday celebrations and lots of Christmas shopping.  

It is a winter wonderland here and the temperature has fallen drastically. It's time now for winter boots and woolly mittens.

Stay warm & "Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends."
