- Even though the Christmas tree becomes the center of attention, there are a lot more things that can illuminate interiors for the joyous occasion. And this is true for both contemporary Christmas decoration ideas and the ones used in the past. And while you're probably somewhat familiar with the first, you most likely don't know as much about the latter.

Ahhhh . . . Yesss. . . Back in the day . When the only lights for the tree were big bulb strings of lights , if one went out the whole string went out and you had to go bulb by bulb until you found the blown one ! When every gas station had a tree lot , crawling under the tree to water it every day and the sound of needles dropping when you brushed up against it . The stray needle that hid in the carpet and stuck you in the foot in July . They were magical days . . The best days of my life ! ! 🎄
I used to help my friends dad selling Christmas trees every year in the tastee freeze parking lot. He would let me pick our familys tree as payment.
So we’ll described. Thank you for that trip down memory lane.
Ah yes….I can remember going out with my husband the first year we were married to get our tree. It was sleeting and I got pneumonia. And yes. I found needles in the carpet for months afterwards. We then got a fake tree for the rest of the Christmases we celebrated.
How old are you? Cause back in the fifties and sixties they were screw in bulbs and if one went out it was easily spotted. The big bulbs were for outside and little screw in were for the tree, if you used outside bulbs on a tree they got way to hot and would start a fire. Trees were purchased on a cross type stand and any tree stand was added at home. I remember the glass bubble candle lights, when they got hot enough they would bubble the colored fluid inside, way to hot to touch without getting burned. We had strings of glass beads, glass ornaments and tree topper. I still have our ornaments from my childhood as well as the topper, we still use them each year. The homemade or school made ornaments are hilarious...
@@janedoe1347 The bulbs we had on our tree when I was in early elementary school days were screw in bulbs , but as I said one went out ? They all went out ! . . . 😲 . . The lights , my parents got in the early fifties . The tinsel had lead in them and if I took a strand and stretched it across one of these hot light bulbs it would melt ! Dad was a child during the depression so we saved our tinsel every year., Laid it carefully on the cardboard square it came on . Our trees were never on a cross wooden boards like you discribed , they were tied to posts or laid on the ground . Dad would shake them , . . 😖 . . This was his way to see if too many needles fell . . 🤔 . . . If so it was on to the next one . The tree had to have a perfectly straight trunk too . Also one of my dad's requirements ! That makes our Christmas tree candidates down to a rare few ! My mom would get so frustrated and we were frozen solid before dad would finally o.k. our "TREE" ! ! . . . 🎄 . . My home made angel tree topper was still used by my folks right up to this past Christmas , and they're in their late 80's ! . .👼 . . Memories of my childhood Christmas's are bitter sweet . . . Those years had happy moments , but it's sad too as things have changed so much . Parents are failing in health , husband in a nursing home , disfunctional daughter , you know JUST LIFE ! I used to live for the holidays now it's kind of a relief when they're done . . . 🤷
I found myself drawn more to the televisions than the Christmas Trees. Thank you for making this, it was great fun.
One of these pictures looked so much like my grandparents' house when I was a kid, I had to go back and look again.
We had a TV just like the TV in picture #6 My parents bought it when they got married in 1957.
Yes! Lol! The huge box tvs. Probably black and white viewing only! And the stations signed off at night. I didn't realize until the last 2 years how much I miss it.
It's nice to remember these times---not everything was perfect and matched. It was home.
Love these photos. My Dad would spend hours hanging icecicles on our trees back in the early 70's. They had to be perfect - one by one.
This will be my first Christmas without him.
He passed away in Jan.
God bless you 🙏
Thank u so much. God bless u too!
So sorry about losing your father...thank goodness you have those beautiful memories...one by one...have a blessed year to come and remember your dad is with you everyday for always. You will be with him again .
Thank you! God Bless you.
Sorry for your loss.
Kids often decorated the tree, it wasn't a competition to have the most showy tree back then.
Lovely memories
@Mazz Ozzy kids still decorate trees now in Ireland. The parents just move a few things around when the kids are sleep🤣.
Yes! We always got our tree, a real tree, on Christmas Eve and the four of us siblings decorated it with great praise from our parents and grandfather. Beautiful memories!
Never heard of the kids being allowed to be in charge of decorating the tree. No wonder some of these looked so much like a hot mess.
@@pjlewisful hot mess to you maybe, pride and joy for the kids involved!
Like I said it wasn’t a competition back then…
@@mazzozzy8218 I have 6 kiddos and we all decorate the tree together while having hot chocolate. The only thing is we got a huge fake tree for free a few years back, so we use that because (like I said with 6 kids) we have to watch finances, and trees (even super small ones) are overly expensive! I would love to eventually start getting real trees for christmas again eventually. But we are happy and enjoying our fake tree, hot mess and all lol(and we got use out of it for a few more years before it gets thrown away!) I enjoy my tree looking slightly a mess, I know my kiddos did it and thats what makes christmas so special! Not everything being perfect. Merry christmas everyone!!
Ok, so why am I teary eyed? Beautiful memories of what was then..... missing mom and dad... mom made Christmas magical.... thank you for sharing such awesome pictures.
I was a child in the 1960’s and I have wonderful memories of Christmas. We had real trees and back g bulb lights. Mom always went out of her way to make Christmas special. I didn’t understand it all then but I really appreciate it now. My parents had Christmas candles in the shape of figurines like angels and choir singers and I remember a church too. Dad and I would go pick out a tree and Mom would make cookies. Christmas of 1966 is my most memorable one. These pictures bring back memories. In fact I have recently been digging up old Christmas pictures and taking pictures of them with my smartphone. I’m getting very nostalgic.
1950’s tinsel and bubbles lights-doesn’t get better then that!! Simple but so beautiful!!
Do we dare mention the sense of kinship and neighborhood friendships that we all enjoyed in our humble homes. Glad I lived during those years so I can honestly say, “there’s nothing better!”
Me too, my happiest years ever, family, friends, peace and great food from scratch. We are truly blessed to have experienced “those days”
My great grandmother had bubble lights in the 60's. Us kids were fascinated with them. I bought some myself and kids and grandkids were just as fascinated with them as I was at their age.
It brings up so many thoughts and memories. I wish, I really wish the background music were Christmas music. That would have rounded out the experience.
agree
I remember we had a cardboard fireplace and mantel that you folded at the seams to hang stockings on. Did notice them in several photos. What memories!!
We also had that!!!
Me2
We loved ours
I had friends who had them. Always wanted one.
We had one! And our tree was always flocked white, with blue lights, blue glass balls, and thick gold garland. I still remember the smell of the Garland melting on the light bulbs...it was the smell of Christmas to me. What i wouldn't give to go back to those simple days🎄
The tree was always magical to me as a kid.
Same for me. I was mesmerized by the tree and other decorations. I must have spent hours looking at each ornament, the different colored lights, our intricate stockings, I can even remember every detail of the star on top of the tree.
Always spent Christmas at grandparents farm. Granddad would go out and find a cedar tree and put it in a bucket with rocks to keep it upright. It smelled so good and I will never forget those days. This generation has no idea what true joy is or appreciation is. It’s a gimme world now. Not all that happy about being73 but feel blessed to have been raised when I was. Pray for the NOW generation.
Very true. We are blessed to have such sweet memories and appreciation for when we grew up back then. It is sad what it's like now. These generations have no idea, not a clue.
What a nasty comment about 'this generation'. I am your age. I pray the now kids never turn out like you.
@@jgray4234 So why didn't you teach them? 😅
I'm sure your grandparents thought the same about you.
Hey, the guy is showing gratitude for beautiful memories. Give him a break, commenters.
Did anyone else notice the cats near the trees? This brought back memories of our sweet kitty that absolutely loved when the tree went up. He would sleep under it until Christmas Eve when we would put all the presents out. He would just find a box and get on top of it 😂 we always waited as long as we could so he could enjoy his naps under the tree ❤️
My goodness, I didn't live through these times but it still made me feel incredibly nostalgic and sad of the time that's gone by. I can't imagine how those who lived through those years and have memories similar to the pictures would feel. I miss having a big Christmas tree and the excitement of opening the presents & family all around. What I wouldn't give to have just one more Christmas morning with my family again 😭
Being a child in the 50s was pure heaven. Life couldn't have gotten any better, especially at Christmas time.
I wanna go home…😭
I inherited my folks Alum Tree Color Wheel when Mom passed, sister was gonna trash it, but still works & I couldn't part with it
Wish I had my grandparents'...mom gave away when I was a kid. 😪
I liked those. Wish I had one now. 🎅
Yup got one of those. Have a lighted and rotating base. My parents purchased in 1961. Still have the bill of sale Put it up every year
My grandmother had one of those. Mom thought it was weird. Mom always fixed our tree to the highest point of elegance. It was so beautiful.
I REMEMBER THE COLOUR WHEEL
The best Christmas present I received was the 1972 Aladdin red plaid patterned lunch box with the included thermos. I'm 56 now and can buy whatever but nothing will ever equal that feeling again.
I had one too!
I had one in the 50’s! I can still recall the smell of it.
I had one, too. One time I emptied my lunch out and put a frog in it on the way to school. It stunk after that, LOL!
@@claudiachampagne9144 f
I got a bike in 1972 and it was unusually warm and I actually was able to ride it on Christmas. Nothing compares to that feeling. I was so excited. I could care less about the presents now just want to spend time with family.
I was born in 1967, and I grew up with an aluminum tree that had a thing that looked like a fan, that had colored panels on it. It turned and shown on the tree to give it the light and colors. It was awesome! Thank you for this. It really brought back some good memories of Christmas' past. These were such great photos.
I thought only Jewish families had the silver aluminum trees, colored ornaments and colored rotating flood light. My we all were home decor and fashion challenged. We were happy; I loved it back then. Most those trees looked cut down from the backyard. Our family did once to save money. A lot of sap came with it.
Omg my parents had one as well.
@@greenleavesofsummer9673 No not at all Many had them with the color wheel!!
You can buy the color wheel again from The Vermont Country Store. The vintage aluminum trees are really expensive. I have one that was still new in the box when I bought it in 2018. I waited until after Xmas to buy it. Still $$$$, but feels like 1963! ❤️
@@pmfmpls that would be so cool to have one again. I'm lucky to even have a tree at all, because I live in Thailand, where very few people celebrate Christmas. I had to order my tree online.
Best Christmas was when I was 5 in the 70s, my 7 yr old sis and I got these phones with this long cord and we’d just call each other from the living room and bathroom lol. The best. Santa really delivered that year😀
Thank you Pans Pictures for posting these great Christmas photos. I am 68 so these photos show the way I remember Christmas as a young boy. It was indeed a simpler time. Things change so gradual that you don't even notice it until you look all the way back. And seeing all those console televisions was a fun added bonus.
Those pictures sure brought back memories for me
Loved the pictures. As someone born in 1950 they bring back many memories. My dad was an amateur photographer and took a picture of me in front of the tree every year. I remember putting the lead tinsel on the tree and setting up the manger scene under the tree. I still have it and have added to it over the years. The holy family and three kings came from Woolworths and had the prices stamped on the bottom. 39 cents ! I also remember my aunt having an aluminum tree with the color changing spotlight on it. My dad kept the trunk from the last real Christmas tree his parents had and turned it into a walking stick.
Love this pictures! I remember the first Christmas we had when our oldest was just 1 and learning to walk. We couldn’t even afford Christmas tree lights, back then but we made decorations and our sweet baby had presents🥰 such sweet memories.
We had the aluminum tree -with the colored wheel spinning around - for years. Oh the excitement of pulling out the branches from the paper sleeves and assembling the tree! Don’t forget the shock you’d get from the static electricity from the carpet! The most beautiful and lasting memories of Christmas. Thank you for the video. Great job!
Trip down memory lane. Yes we were all much happier then. Wish we could go back.
Yes I would rather lived back in the old times with nothing. Than in this violent crazy times
Brings back so many memories. Things were so much simpler back then. Just wish the music playing during this video was Christmas music. Would make the memories even better.
Loved all the photos!! It brought back so many memories of my childhood. I am 67 and both parents are gone. It was nice to remember all the good times we had at Christmas.☺
My grandmother still decorates her trees the same with lots of silver tissle.
*Tinsel
I love them all. Thank you for compiling these pictures for us. This brings me back to yesteryear. I love the cat on the present and the tree on the TV. I love the old style curtains and the old furniture and the old television sets. What a treasure of memories!
Oh my - the lamps, the carpets, the furniture, the wallpaper - I feel like I'm looking through family photo albums!
(2nd comment - it’s so fun to think back!). I grew up in the ‘60s and ‘70s and the day we decorated the house for Christmas was always a big deal. The whole family (seven of us) cleaned and worked together to set up our things. We were all so excited and had fun together. Back then, we only decorated the living room and Mum added a centrepiece to the dining room table. Decorating day was always the Saturday before Christmas, even if it was the 24th. I think that’s why I resist decking the halls in November - it doesn’t feel right to me. 🤷🏼♀️
I will take the 50’s and 60’s over today. We live in a horrible world.
Heck, I'll even take the 1990s over today.
As long as I don't have to live those decades over again. I don't ever want to relive my teens. I'll stick with my current age.
X2 to days world is to much nonsense
Debbie. Agree,. I am thankful,. I am not a young person these days 😐💩..
When mom was home to homemake, and daddy worked to support his family ❤️
Exactly. Then came women’s lib and the desire to keep up with the Jones’. And families had values. I could go on and on and on.
@@sandramiller8183 yes
Absolutely. My mom didn't work outside the home. Holidays were cookie baking and decorating.
@@kathleenstrittmatter6895 Aww that’s beautiful
You mean when women were bored and men had giant unsmashable egos?
We always had a big tree with icicles put on one by one - my Dad watched my Brother and I to insure perfection. When everything was done my Mom would drape pink angel hair over the entire tree. The lights would glow thru the angel hair and I thought it was magical. Wonderful memories of many years ago.
I love #27! I got that same metal doll house for Christmas when I was little! I loved it! 🥰 Turned 56 this year.
I have one just like it out in my garage!
I had mine until it got rusty.
I got it too! Mine is in my attic right now. I wished that the front door would open.
Good memories! All the simple things & we were so much happier
I loved watching this. It brought back so many good times when I was a kid. Most of the time my life sucked, but Christmas was really special. Thank you!
Remember those silvery icicles!? I loved those and the big fat multi colored bulbs. We went out on our farm and cut the top out of a cedar tree every year. It would be about six feet tall and it smelled heavenly🐝🤗❤️
Yes!! I loved those tinsel icicles so much! But you didn’t want to have static when you tried to hang it!
I wonder why they went out of fashion…
@@mkuti-childress3625 They we’re dangerous to small children trying to eat them. Choking hazard I think. And yes I remember the static electricity! But man those big old colored lights and those icicles were just magical to me. I would look at them for hours.🐝🤗❤️
If you own a cat that tinsel can cost you a massive vet bill or the life of your pet. More people own cats now and know the danger.. So people gave up tinsel.
You can still buy it. And it is lovely on a tree.
@@dawnelder9046 Yes, I heard it was dangerous.🙁
@@mkuti-childress3625 I remember the icicles! The ones we hung when I was very little (I was born in ‘63) were heavy - made of metal - aluminum? - and hung perfectly straight. Static wasn’t an issue. Then Mum’s supply eventually dwindled down and she needed more icicles and the new ones were plastic. They were nasty to hang - static cling city - and didn’t drape properly.
Miles of silver icicles on the tree …looking like a fairyland ❣️❣️❣️❣️
Best 50 pictures of Christmas at a time when you talked on a phone that was plugged into the wall! LOVE!!! Thank you for posting! Hmmm .... just may start a new tradition of watching this every holiday season :>
Back then it wasn't about the gaudiest tree, the most presents or the best selfies. Jesus was the reason for the season but having a mom and dad, extended family, neighbors, church ... a community to feel secure in...was the icing on the Christmas cake.
JT says" Back then it wasn't about the gaudiest tree, the most presents or the best selfies. Jesus was the reason for the season ". Of course it was abot the tree and gifts, that has never changed.
It looks like there were actually tons of gifts under the tree, fewer nowadays
I totally agree with everything you have said
I wish I’d had an ideal childhood like yours.
Jesus has nothing to do with the season. Christmas was originally a Pagan holiday called "Yule" to celebrate the Winter Solstice. Jesus was born in June and Not December. There was no Snow, Reindeer or, pine trees in Bethlehem.
My mom had some of those candle bubble lights when I was a kid. I thought they were so neat!
Looking at old photos like that just brings back really good memories when I was a kid⛄❄
Still love tinsel on a tree to this day
Happy days even the toys were better, proper Christmas.
Even pets love Christmas.
As a child during the 1960's I remember putting the tinsel on the tree as my dad showed me how one tinsel string at a time while my brother got impatient with it all and threw bunches on the branches. With the mutlcolored large bulb lights and variety of ornaments with the star on top we had a beautiful tree every Christmas.
Love this thank you. From kitty Cameos to cardboard fireplaces .
In picture #50- I have that children’s table and chairs to this day! Really enjoyed seeing these, wish you’d do more.
Well, this brought back fond memories, just seems like yesterday! We had a tall six foot green Spruce tree and near our black and white Zenith TV which we put in a room divider between the living room and dining room! We also used a lot of silver tinsil but also a couple of times, pink Angel hair made from fiber glass that looked like spun pink cotton candy! We also had many old handblown glass ornaments from my late father's side of the family which was Pennsylvania Dutch/German-Swiss which were a tea pot and coffee pot and birds with feathers for tails! Our modern home had a lot of turquoise and pink kitchen counters, all the rage back then! I remember a friend's house which was even newer in the 1960s and they had an all white living room and a white Xmas tree with pink ornaments all over it which was also very beautiful, never forgot that! Thanks for jogging my memories!
I feel soo fortunate to have experienced America when she had people that cared and showed it.
thank you i could almost smell my grandparents house and hear the grown ups in the kitchen the sounds of the floor when i walked in i miss them so much
We had a cardboard fireplace too! I thought it was awesome as a child. You can buy one today at Amazon! Love these images!
Best times ever !!
My tree would fit right in. I still have bubble lights, mismatched ornaments with reasons for being. Some from 3 generations before me. I was a child of the 50's and still love our fresh cut from out back. All are beautiful. No 2 trees are the same, making each and every one, PERFECT.
Is it me, or was the same TV in 2/3 of these pics? Thanks for the memories!
Good point regarding same t.v. in most of the Christmas photos. You have a good eye. It's 1 a.m. here in Penna.
simply the best Christmases and best tree's
I'll never forget 1970. That was the first year we had a flocked tree. It was some sort of pinkish color, and we decorated it with red and white candy canes tied on the tree with purple yarn. By the time Christmas Eve came, there wasn't a stick of candy on the tree, just empty plastic wrappers tied on with that yarn. We were back to a normal tree after that. Mom wasn't happy with the flocking and the rug interaction.
Love the Tinsel on the trees back in the good old days. My memories of those times are wonderful and so my family’s furniture and trees! Thank you for this “going down memory lane” at Christmas time!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NITE!! 🎅🏼🤶🏻🔮
Silver tinsil, cardboard fake brick fireplace, big Zenith TV, and all the wrapped presents at the foot of the "real" tree.
In one of the pictures I saw the candle set of the choir girl & boy, we had a set like that as well.
My mom made such a big thing out of Christmas, I don't think I appreciated all the hard work she did.
Plus there were all the cookies and candies that had to be made as well.
What a lovely video. It brought back to mind how wonderful and simple life and Christmas was so many years ago. We were so grateful for the simplest of things.
When I was a kid, we went as a family to cut our tree..it was always too big and we spent all evening decorating it. A great memory...
The thing that made Christmas so special growing up. No. Decorations. No Christmas songs and No Christmas movies or specials were aired AFTER THANKSGIVING….!
This was fun to see and look for things we had in our house too. But why no Christmas music to accompany the video?
Call me scrooge, I would have not finished the video if I were made to listen to Xmas music.
@@lindatisue733 Hi Scrooge, greetings from Bah Humbug.
I am so happy all you good folks out there have good memories, i do too. I hope the future will be as good and christian as it was in our times. Merry christmas to all.
It’s interesting to see the desired tree shapes have changed over the years. I kinda love the stark spindly trees with a few ornaments and tinsel. They are so pretty….
You should come to Scandinavia for Xmas, they like the spindly ones too.
I loved the old coloured Christmas tree lights. We used reflectors under them and it was so fun to decide on the colour combination of the reflector and which colour of light. My favourite was putting a red reflector with a blue light … the purple glow was magical to me.
I remember my cat running back into the house with a string of tinsel flowing out the back of his rear end because he had been eating it. That was the year we had to start hanging it higher on the tree.
Thank you for sharing this! Beautiful scenes similar to my childhood-
Every kid probably thinks he or she grew up at the best time, but I truly feel that growing up in the booming, optimistic post-war years was kind of a golden age for children. We had no worries-only fun, and a sense that life was going to be good-no matter what happened. Then, the threat of nuclear war, assassinations, and Viet Nam came along to burst the bubble…
A beautiful trip down memory lane...thank you!
These pics bring back alot ofmemories.
All the green trees are real! So nice.
the paper bells. Lol Thanks Mom for the memories.
When less was more and so much appreciated.
This was when the generation didn't have any five to seven year olds crying for new Xbox or PlayStation 5 or an iPad or new iPhone those must have been the days
You’re right! Kids are spoiled now….they have too much stuff and don’t enjoy or appreciate it!
@@lindab8563 you can say that again!!
But who spoiled them ? We did , so we can’t complain , we made them that way , sad .
We just cried for different stuff that was just as hard for our parents to afford, as an xbox today.
@@elizabeth3527 cant relate!
Beautiful pictures bring memories to all! Every year Christmas time together was the best!. My older brother would takes me to the woods to look for a big tree to cut down for our living room. He never got upset if it took hours to find the perfect tree... I did not like the ones in town. they looked small to me. We put up a silver pom pom too!
The flocked trees were beautiful, and the lead tinsel, which you can still find on eBay. I carefully take mine off the tree every year and put it away with the Christmas ornaments. My mother taped up all the Christmas cards we received - more than 100! Those were good times.
I remember going through cans of "Make it Snow" to add piles of spray flocking to the branches of our real trees. I also remember that it ate the color off of our glass ornaments and lights! LOL The last thing to go on our tree was always the lead tinsel which we had sent to us by relatives in Germany. We collected it off the tree every year as well. I still have some of it in my vintage Christmas box that I got from my mom. Great memories!
Memories...we had a silver tree with the 4 color wheel.
I would sit and stare as the tree turned colors. Loved it!
Good times! Much simpler times. More love and appreciation! Such good memories! Love the pics, the trees, and the decor & the memories!❄️⛄🎄⛄❄️
Cats stalking trees since...Well probably since the beginning of xmas trees in the house, lol!
Thank you!! The memories you brought back had me in tears.... Happy ones!
My heart melted on #39! The tree has the very same angel on top that I grew up with and I would SO love to find one!! Thank you SO much for the beautiful feeling of nostalgia :-) xx Loved seeing all the furnishings and decor of the era as well!
I’m 62 and I finally have my flocked tree…
It’s funny that you see so many metal silver trees and now they are a collectors item…
And new ones I’ve seen. $$$$$
I bought a vintage one last January. Can’t wait to put it up this year!
Any & all that kitschy stuff.
Still have my parents 1st tree topper from 1950.Surprised Santa survived all these years.
And now at 71, good ol Santa Claus sits on top of my tree Love the pictures
I really enjoyed the photos. It reminded me of Christmasses in the 60s and 70s. One photo brought back a memory of a blowup reindeer and I remember in 1965. Or 66 my grandmother was hep enough to have a silver artificial Xmas tree. It was different and the rotating color wheel was noisy and hot. We went back to the usual evergreen the next year...lol!
Cool Cool Cool!! That's all i can say! If you missed those years. You have no idea how good it was. I would love to take my family back in time. True joy. Great toys.
Oh boy, a new floor buffer for Christmas. On the shoulders of giants with clean houses and new Corning ware for Christmas. People were bemoaning the commercialization of Christmas in the fifties too. I miss the Norelco electric shaver commercial, we gave our Dad one of those and a new tie.
OMG!!! I loved the Norelco razor commercial!! Would love to see that one again.

# 11 I was pretty poor as a single mother in the 60’s and I bought one of those little cardboard fireplaces so my little boy would have a place to hang his stocking.
In 1972 I was blessed to marry the most wonderful man. After our first Christmas together my little boy and those who came after had real fireplaces to hang their stockings. Thank you for the memories. Merry Christmas 🎄
Christmas hasn't changed. The TV's maybe. Everyone has their own idea of Christmas trees, and they are all beautiful. Some like shiny aluminum trees, some choose real. Every Christmas tree is beautiful.
We had the tree in #16 with the color wheel that would shine on it red then blue then green then yellow. Loved that tree. Same blue ornaments too. It weighed a ton in the box tho! Back in the day of lead tinsel and C-9 bulbs in the trees. Thanks for the memories!
Beautiful & simple. I noticed the lovely curtains that the homes had!
It needs a Christmas song in the background...
You got that right this music sucks!
Yes! I had to mute to enjoy the pictures
The good old days everyone was happy even the poor god bless or mom and dad.
Those were great times👍🏻🎄🎁I really miss them too
My mom would put the most beautiful trees I remember how she would throw tinsel on it ♥️
I see so much of my childhood Christmases in these photos.
The pictures were awesome, but I also enjoyed the comments. Memories, memories - and here is a wish for making many new ones💞
Oh my that huge beautiful play kitchen set is beyond everything
