Old-Fashioned CHRISTMAS | 1930s-Inspired | Vintage Christmas Tree

#vintagechristmas #christmasdecor
Hello friends! I am back with the first of several Christmas videos sharing my living room and Christmas tree - mostly decorated with vintage ornaments, tinsel garland and icicles. My favorite find of the year was Tru-Tone Bulbs, which gave me the look of the old C-7s but in an energy-efficient LED. They glow like the old lights of my childhood, and I could not be more excited about something so simple that really transformed my tree.
I'm sharing some precious family photos and the women who inspired what I try to do in my home. I hope you'll watch to the end for one of my favorite poems and hopefully be inspired to carry on the true meaning of Christmas:-)
The kitchen will be up next week, inspired by the set of The Waltons, and I'll also have a blog post with photos next Wednesday.
This blog post has lots of photos and more details: www.whispering...

Hi everyone! I'm excited to share some of the Christmas magic from my childhood and show how it inspired me in my Christmas decor. It's definitely not like everyone else out there - no hauls or "viral trees" but mostly things I've used for years, and some that are on my grandparents' tree in the video. I hope you find a moment of peace in this video:-) I'm working on the kitchen, and it is totally "The Waltons" 1930s inspired including some things I sourced from the set:-) Coming next week!!

[@sharenp3839]

The older I get the more sentimental I get. I love the old memories as well. Last year I got out my doll cradle that I got when I was very small. Then got the box of old toys that I saved. The toys went in the cradle and I just had a very memory filled Christmas. Oh if we could just keep hanging onto those the world would be sweeter ❤️ Sorry for your families loss🙏

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏 I’m definitely feeling more sentinel and nostalgic as I get older, and you are so right❤️❤️

[@davidandshaylamccullers7368]

Oh my goodness Anita! I felt like I had stepped back in time with the beautiful decor and music. I love how you incorporated all of the sweet Christmas memories from your past. But most of all I love how you reminded us to truly celebrate our Savior,

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much Shayla☺️☺️☺️ Yes, all the other is fun but certainly not what we actually celebrate☺️☺️🙏🙏

[@inglishhomeandgarden8386]

Such a lovely Christmas home - and Amen to the most important part - unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and His Name shall be Immanuel, God with us. ✨

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Yes absolutely🙏🙏 Thank you so much☺️☺️

[@nancymarx3512]

Love this! Your devotion to memories of your family and carrying on those traditions is beautiful.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so very much ☺️☺️☺️

[@debby891]

I loved this, so much fun trying to recreate treasured memories from our childhood. I grew up in the early 60’s and my mom always made Christmas so special and with very little. Dad kind of just relaxed and enjoyed it 😂. I use many things that were my mom’s and my grandma’s too, silver tree with color light wheel, their ornaments, dolls and vintage toys of my past. My grandkids always say “Nonna, Christmas is so magical” and that makes it worth every ounce of the work. Due to my age, being disabled and things take lots longer, I start in mid November so that I can use only Christmas lights and my oil lamps starting on the first of December. Our home is decorated in a very primitive style, much like a little House on the Prairie and I just love the warmth, coziness and tranquility of it. Love how you’ve done yours bringing back such treasured memories❤🌲♥️. My nativity is my favorite part of mine and was a gift from my parents many years ago, my mom would gift me pieces to add to it each year, a set from Italy and being 100% Italian, a treasured part of our home too. God bless and Merry Christmas from our home in upstate New York to yours. Debby

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Oh wow your Nativity sounds wonderful!! What a treasure! I’m sure your grandkids will have amazing memories when they grow up thanks to your care wand hard work❤️❤️ Thank you so much Debby☺️☺️☺️

[@pamelagay3303]

I grew up in the 1950s

[@MissLee545]

My memories of Christmas as a child are very much like yours, and I got a little teary eyed watching the video. My parents are long gone, and I don't have many things that had belonged to them, and nothing from grandparents. You are so lucky to have all of these beautiful ornaments and treasures from your family! Thank you for sharing your special memories and decorations with us. 🎄❤☃

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much ☺️☺️☺️ I’m very thankful that my parents save everything for sure so we have something to pass down🙏❤️

[@lavettamoff7883]

Lovely,just beautiful, and Jesus is the reason for the season.Love King Jesus.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much - yes He is🙏🙏❤️

[@pennyrogers2048]

Yes think you have it spot on with the 1930 christmas feel, so warm and cosy i bet you feel like your house gives you a big hug when ever you come home ❤xx

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Oh thank you Penny so much!! I do love being here and am thankful for our little home☺️☺️☺️

[@WBCRO]

My mother was born in 1930 and I have glimpses of her childhood Christmases during the Depression. One big one was that she and her two older siblings would go to bed on Christmas Eve with no tree in the living room and they awoke to find a wondrous, shining tree with a few (which was a very big deal in those lean years) presents underneath it. My grandfather worked all Christmas Eve delivering furniture to homes around our town so Nan did everything solo each Dec 24th: setting up and decorating the tree, preparing things for the next day - including making pies - etc. it sounds like a whole lot of work but that made Christmas so marvellous for their three children.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Oh thank you for sharing that with me! It sounds just wonderful, and what beautiful memories you have:-)

[@elizabethwhite196]

I think we may be kindred spirits! I too - especially after the passing of my mother have been trying to recreate that nostalgic vintage Christmas of the past. Honoring our parents and the traditions they established and the wonderful memories they made. I was fortunate to inherit some of my parents things and wish I would of appreciated it more when they were here. When I was younger and first married, I wanted to create my own decor. My mom asked me if I wanted their stuff when they downsized and I said “no” as I had my own! Big mistake! Fortunately I salvaged some of her treasures and I do treasure them now.I appreciate all forms of Christmas decor from the primitive to the glamorous- but in the past few years I’ve really gravitated to the magical memories of my Christmases past and certainly reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas- the birth of your savior ❤. Have a blessed Christmas with you and yours.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

I think we all do that! There are so many things I wish I had from my childhood, but thankfully because my parents are living in my grandparents’ house, there were at least some boxes of decor that I could go through, and thank goodness I was older when I did it. What I would do if I could even just sit down with my grandparents right now and ask them all the questions I wish I’d asked when I was younger☺️☺️🙏🙏

[@cathyhogue9180]

This is stunning. I could look at it for hours. And yes it is alll about jesus!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much Cathy☺️☺️☺️

[@barbarapeterson8030]

HAPPY DECEMBER ANITA AND FAMILY! Thanks for sharing your family history. ABSOLUTELY ALLURING HOME. HAPPY HOLIDAYS. STTB

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much Barbara!! Happy December to you ☺️❤️

[@laurenallen4057]

I love what you did! There is something incredibly joyful about tinsel, it never ceases to make me happy. I also love using family decorations. Our tree is always loaded down with ornaments that my daddy made when he was a little boy, the ones my grandma made that look similar to yours on your tree, and new ones we find throughout the year. I feel such peace being surrounded by my family’s things…like they are still with me. ♥️🎄 And thankful always for the birth of our Savior and the legacy of faith my family has given me.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much☺️☺️☺️ That sounds absolutely wonderful to have such treasures from your dad and grandma❤️ Yes, those things bring such peace🙏🙏🙏

[@lindarader8108]

This is so you, Anita. Love it! Your children are blessed to have you as you were to have your mom, dad, and grandparents. My home also reflects my memories and especially Christmas takes me back to those warm and cozy days. What is a tree without icicles or a mantle without tinsel? And Christmas without a nativity is just a holiday. Your reading was touching and so perfect for these times we are living through. Sending hugs of comfort for the loss of your aunt. I am anxiously awaiting your next video and blogpost. May our Precious Lord bless you and your family. Love from Lin in Michigan ❤💚

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much Lin - I really appreciate that so much❤️❤️❤️ I’m part of a blog hop Wednesday so I’ll have photos up on the blog then☺️☺️

Oh my word! I just bought a set of Tru-Tone lights! My husband will be so surprised and happy.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Yay!! They are so awesome!! I'd definitely have more if they were cheaper, but they are definitely worth the investment!!

[@kathydohack2637]

Oh my goodness-you nailed it-spot on! I totally get what you are saying. I really enjoyed the older photos and I must say that I also had a doll/mannequin head to do hairstyling with -just like yours! My grandkids are creeped out by it but I loved it. Your home-your decor-and your words are all perfect. Thankyou. I am also happy to know about the lights. Old c7-s do not work on faux trees! But I love the feel. Thankyou 💕❤🥰😍👏

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much:-)

[@maryohare4141]

I think they do!♥️

[@sandystafford5845]

Anita, thanks for sharing and bringing back wonderful memories. I'm enjoying seeing allot of accounts sharing their vintage and family heirlooms being used in their decorating. It's a breath of fresh air.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you Sandy☺️☺️☺️

[@sunnyday4589]

So very heartwarming!! I’ll take a video like this over the cookie cutter videos trying to outdo each other any day. Great job..

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Aww thank you so very much!!

[@lindascott5298]

Looks beautiful and so fun going down memory lane. My mother did the same and before they put up the artificial tree, years later, the trees from the tree lots were awful but now I appreciate their imperfections. It was going to pick out the tree that I loved! My mother would put on the tinsel one strand at a time. Since we didn't have a fire place my parents bought one of those cardboard fireplaces (anyone else have one?) so we could hang our stockings. When I was a young mom I found one somewhere and used it for my kids. Then I donated it to their elementary school after that Christmas so it could be used in the classroom or in school plays if needed. Oh the many great memories! Thanks Anita for sending us on our trips down memory lane and as always, your house is absolutely beautiful and oh so cozy!! The way Christmas should be (to me anyway)! Merry Christmas friend!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Oh wow that sounds wonderful! I have seen pictures of those fireplaces and would love to have a vintage one just for the nostalgia☺️☺️ Yes the imperfections are what I love! I used to just get a tree out of the woods here, and then I bought this tree because it looked like those old ones with the imperfections when I needed to do that photo shoot because I had to keep the tree up till February.

[@sheilacirioni4676]

Amen! Peace on Earth good will to man..Sure would be the best Christmas Present. Beautiful home,from your ❤.💒☃️❄🌬😄

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so very much Sheila☺️☺️☺️

[@cherylmanning9172]

My condolences with your Aunt passing. I look forward to your videos and each and every time I am inspired by your decorating. I try to bring wonderful memories from long past times, here in my home, as you do. Not copying or trying to be like anyone else is what's wonderful about your channel. Thank you for sharing, Merry Christmas.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

I love your doll she is so precious!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you ☺️☺️ It belongs to my mother, her father had it sent from Paris during WWII☺️

[@mrs.anonymous6291]

I have to tell you the truth, when you showed the letter your father wrote your mother about the doll, I actually teared up. I get you with the tree lights I'm typing this 2023 and we still use them also!!!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Yes I tear up myself when I read the card and miss my grandparents very much☺️☺️

[@angelagabhart4188]

Nothing can replace those special Christmas memories with family that have passed! Thanks for sharing this and your home looks gorgeous!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Yes, and they are comforting to think about these days too☺️☺️ Thank you so much☺️

[@tinabonner6286]

So so pretty! And precious memories. I love your heart ❤️

Thank you!!

[@marj2641]

I have no words to tell you how this made me feel. I love everything in this video! I felt as if I have been there! I was 8 years old in '72.... Oh the precious memories!!! Thank you once again! Merry Christmas.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Oh thank you so very much☺️☺️☺️ I was 8 in ‘72 as well and have wonderful memories of what was such a happy and hopeful time❤️

[@user-vd3ol8fz8r]

Sitting here sipping my coffee this morning while watching your lovely video. You took me back in time to the Christmases of my childhood. What a nice way to begin the holiday season. You decorated your home beautifully and it was so nice to hear the stories that make your pieces so meaningful to you. The doll story brought tears to my eyes. I am sorry for the loss of your aunt.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much 🙏🙏☺️☺️ Every time I think about the doll, or see the cards, it brings tears also🙏

[@natalie_tn]

I searched on vintage Christmas tree decor and there you were! This is exactly what I was looking for. I've strayed from the old traditional decorations and started doing a snowman theme tree years ago. Now I'm drawn back to what I knew as a child and the 1930s as an era. I watched the original Waltons Christmas homecoming movie last night and bawled at the end..as I always do. I want to binge watch your entire channel but I need to get busy here at my home. Just watched your 2022 garden video too. Why have I not seen your channel before?

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Oh I cannot thank you enough for those very kind words! Funny enough I have been binge watching the Waltons Christmas episodes, and I’ve watched the homecoming over and over. I love the aesthetic of that particular movie as well as the story, and the series too☺️☺️☺️

[@lizzyp174]

I am forever torn between wanting to be a collector of all things vintage and the need of minimalism for my mental health ☹️ You did an amazing job. Your home is a dream

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so very much - I appreciate that! Maybe try to choose a few vintage things for a minimalist decor that really speak to you☺️ I tend to rotate things in and out because clutter (particularly decor with no purpose) really gets to me as well, but I always put something away if I get something out☺️☺️

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much ☺️ I’m very thankful that some of these have survived and were not thrown away or donated to a thrift shop by anyone else in the family☺️☺️

I love the picture at 1:34 with allthe gifts displayed under the tree. My mom always did that. We would leave all the unwraped gifts displayed under the tree till the next day.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Yes, Santa would leave those while we were asleep:-) We didn't open gifts on Christmas Eve, but always waited until Christmas morning:-)

[@tinafehr8394]

This was so fun. Brought me back to my own childhood. Thanks for the memories. You did an amazing job.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

I'm so glad! Thank you so much:-)

I love your vintage Christmas all the wonderful stories. Your room tour was like visiting Christmases from my grandmother’s house. Thank you for sweet memories and I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas. I stumbled on this video on accident but I’m a fan and a new subscriber.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much Susan☺️☺️☺️

[@WBCRO]

Your room is beautiful and it does evoke pre-WWII Christmases. I think your Victorian home trimmed with 1930’s-style ornaments is particularly accurate. Few people lived in new homes. A couple of your statements sparked memories for me…. Pink at Christmas: I inherited two boxes of my grandmother’s glass tree ornaments and several of them featured both pink and purple. Your mention of pink being used at Christmas decades ago clicked in my head and explained the presence of pink. I’m going to try and incorporate those pink ornaments next year (everything is decorated now). Thank you for the inspiration! The other thing you mentioned that grabbed me was displaying Christmas cards in the living room. Tree branches had much more vertical space between them back then and my parents and grandparents would sit the Christmas cards on the branches as they arrived in the mail (a few inches toward the trunk) to add extra colour and fill in the gaps to make the tree seem fuller. Merry Christmas from Eastern Canada!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you, and thanks so much for sharing that with me! I absolutely love the idea of placing cards on the branches, and will keep that idea for next Christmas☺️☺️ Merry Christmas to you☺️☺️🎄🎄

[@carolynncalvert8016]

I adore your home always, always…. But perhaps this year more than ever. It is so wonderful to see the photos that you showed, I absolutely love the story of your fans on the tree, and it was neat to see you still use the same colors and style of decorating. I also loved the story of Raggedy Ann and the connection to your family home. God bless you, Anita, thank you for sharing.

Accidentally ran across your Video just wanted to Thank you for the vintage Christmas so many familiar memories my Mom really made our Christmas special to.hear❤ took me back to the 1950s when I was just a child and we had bubble lights and heavy led tinsels on our tree we always decorated together as a family! you really captured the essence of My childhood At Age 75 I'm grateful you shared what a wonderful & magical Christmas looked like back in my Early 1950s Childhood .( Merry Christmas 🎄)😊

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Oh thank you so much for sharing those wonderful memories!! Yes bubble lights, I have some but didn't find them until I'd already decorated the tree:-) Merry Christmas to you!!

[@bwiseok]

This is absolutely amazing! I love vintage Christmas items as well. I would say my favorite out of everything in that living room is your mantle. To know that you saved back pieces from your grandmothers Victorian house and incorporated into your own house is so touching. Your decorating of the mantle with the mantle clock surrounded by the hurricane lamps on each side is absolutely lovely. And to top it off the Kerosene heater is gorgeous. Everything you’ve done in this room is quite inspiring. Are the bottlebrush trees vintage or new or a mixture?

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

I can’t thank you enough for those kind words☺️☺️☺️ The trees are all mostly several years old, some I bought in a vintage “lot” about 12 years ago, but they’re not all that old I don’t think☺️

Where did you get that white church that lights up and it looks like it has stained glass windows, it's so beautiful!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

[@margaretbeard6564]

So many people in the whole days are not sentimental about anything and it makes me sad

[@cathywallace6990]

What kind of lights on the tree look like the C 7

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

They are from tru-tone.com/pages/shop-c7-bulbs and I only bought two sets of just classic color bulbs because I already had light strings. They were $35 per set so two was all I could afford, but they are beautiful and will be worth it in the long run using less electricity☺️

[@leahsanders5383]

Could you link your tree please thank you

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

I'm sorry, it's not available as I bought it in 2015:)
