Hello From ChristmasFanatic!

[ChristmasFanatic]

Hello! I'm a huge Christmas fanatic, as I'm sure most of you are. I can't recall a time I haven't loved the Christmas season and I think that love grows a bit more, each year. I love to collect vintage Christmas decorations/ornaments, especially from the 40s-60s.

Hi,
Welcome, glad to see you!

What kinds of Christmas ornaments? I like the old glass ones my grandparents had in particular. The history behind them is really cool also!

Thanks very much for the welcome. I love most anything from that time period, anything I ever saw on a family member's tree or friends, I'd love to have them all.

I've picked up some wood ornaments and some nice metal ones (silver and some just regular metal) and hopefully my kids will be enjoying them years from now too.

That's neat. I remember when I was a kid, couldn't have been more than four, my Aunt and Uncle had an aluminum tree with the color disc that rotated near the tree....I thought that was the coolest thing! I really do cherish ornaments from when I was a kid, although, not many remain, I'm afraid.

My neighbor had a bright silver aluminum tree. We had the regular green. She was 40-45+ years older than my parents and when i was about 10 she had to go into a nursing home and gave the tree to me. We kept it at the top of the landing at the stairs for 5-7 years...it was very dated (probably she'd had it from the 1940s or 1950s, but while it didn't go with any of our other decorations, it was fun and a treat to have!
