    Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer-Silver and Gold was sung by Burl Ives as an animated snowman during the classic Christmas movie. I am 43 years old and I still watch it every year, even if my son does not want to. It brings back all the magic of Christmas for me as a young girl😊

    There’s an old Girl Scout song that goes: “Make new friends. But keep the old. One is silver and the other’s gold “.

      I remember the song from Camp Fire Girls, but I think the song Linda is remembering is from the movie “Rudolf”.

    Fun trip!
    Leah, you can store large flat trays under your mattress or in your car trunk with the spare tire😂or slid behind a dresser or in a dresser drawer with clothes on top. A big punch bowl can be stored in the back of a cabinet and filled with small things you dont use often or at the top of a clothes closet filled with hair things or scarves or out of season socks or rolled up belts etc etc. Or set upside down and used as a plant stand Or on top of the fridge to store rolled up dish cloths and kitchen towels and scubbies. Or depending on the cost just used once or twice and redonated.

    When you don’t have storage space for serveware after the party, donate it back to the thrift store and consider the price you paid rent. It’s a win-win!

    The silver and gold song was sung by Burl Ives in the animated "Rudolph" movie. I am in my 60's and have been watching this movie every year of my life. It reminds me of my childhood!!

    When hosting a party and in need of extra items, I purchase from a charity shop and then donate them back. It's an inexpensive rental, recycled and helping a charity again.

    I always it would be fun to have a lot of wall clocks hanging up for New Year's Eve, set an hour apart. Those could be thrifted. Also thought it would be fun to have your guest bring little alarm clocks, and set them all for Midnight. Then they would all be going off at Midnight. Of cousre now everyone has an alarm on their phones. Have a Wonderful 2024!🎉

    Just love the interactions between the three of you and how you are like children in surprise mode when you find your little treasures and surprises . What a fun segment and helping out with saving our planet by finding new ways to use items while others benefit from those sales . You are each so individual but so alike also. Friendships are a blessing . Have a wonderful magical and enjoyable New year celebration .

    Although Rudolph’s song Silver and Gold was about a Christmas Tree, Make New Friends and Keep the Old was a song used in Girl Scouts and other girls clubs (in the 60s?) I thinkl those 2 songs complement each other quite nicely!

    Just by the pleasure
    It gives here on Earth?
    Silver and gold
    Silver and gold
    Mean so much more when I see
    Silver and gold decorations
    On every Christmas tree
    Silver and gold
    Silver and gold
    Everyone wishes for silver and gold
    Silver and gold
    Silver and gold
    Mean so much more when I see
    Silver and gold decorations

    One of our other friends borrowed them all for a garden shower . Those plates have been borrowed and used by many of us ! Unfortunately, one of the original buyers was taken too early from cancer , but we talk about her all the time when we are sharing the dishes.
