Does anyone decorate with inherited ornaments anymore? 🤔My tree is almost all pieces we've collected over the years or ones we had when we were children. It is a beautiful mix with almost every ornament having a story or memory.
@PinkieJoJoАй бұрын
I do!! I rarely buy any new ornaments anymore unless I see one that absolutely delights me. I’ve even reduced my ornaments to red and white themed for my main tree with a bit of gold and silver and other colors (and all my baby themed for the years my kids were born) for my secondary smaller trees. I’ve donated many as well that weren’t sentimental. I don’t have any from when I was a child but I did grab a handful of old ornaments from my husband’s grandmother and his mother.

I do too. All the ornaments over the almost 40 years together! All my children have been given their collected ornaments for their trees

@lizmerritt2148 I'm so glad that we're not the only ones. Our kids aren't out on their own yet, but we look forward to seeing them decorate their own trees with their families someday. 😊

Mine too, I have ornaments that were my grandmother’s that we put up every year when I was growing up, lots of stories, means the world to me to feel that connection. Some are pretty beat up, vintage Shiny Brites that maybe aren’t so shiny anymore! But I love them.

I purchased several fake birch trees with lights and put all my inherited vintage and antique Xmas ornaments on them. Really shows off ornaments. Agree, it creates this continuum and memories. At 61 yrs many of people I got ornaments have transitioned/passed, so has special meaning for me
@jannibal9273Ай бұрын
Trends are interesting and a way to get people to spend money on things they actually don't need and have no room to store. My approach to Christmas decorating is to throw just about everything I can fit on the Christmas tree and add another string of lights just about every year. There were a few years where I did the "trends" and I do love a natural/forest/wild life tree, but now the look in my home includes pastel bulbs from years ago when pink was "in" and then shades of blue were "in" and before then the trad look of red and gold, and on and on. When you've decorating Christmas trees for 60 years, you just throw up your hands and throw on everything that will fit on the tree.

Love the cottage core Xmas and I’m going to be wrapping more gifts this year in craft paper, but for the grandkids I think I’ll stick with mostly Xmas wrap until they are older. I think if they saw all paper wrapped gifts under the tree they might think it strange & not festive. My vibe though since last Xmas is old world vintage Xmas. I want it to feel like an early American colonial style home, with candle light & rustic elements.

Although my tree has naturally gone red and white because so many ornaments we have colllected through the years are with pops of red, I also absolutely love a silver tree with blue glass bulbs and tinsel (that’s what my grandmother always had back in the 70-80’s). But a truly retro looking silver tree is hard to find now days. My trees are full of character ornaments, snowmen, Santa’s, and even some Mickey and Pooh Bear.

I caution anyone to stay away from tinsel as it can be hazardous. At least the old stuff from the 60s and 70s was. For example, pets who want to play with it can get it wound or stuck around a paw or (neck if the pet is small enough like kittens, stopping blood flow or breathing. My childhood cat almost lost a paw this way. Also, it is horrible for the environment, and miserable to clean up. It usually ends up getting thrown in the trash at the end of the season. I recall though how much fun it was as a small child to throw it on the tree. My Mom would tell us how beautiful and then when we went to bed she would fix it!😆
