Vintage Christmas Glamour


My grandmother had one of those silver trees... I loved that thing.

I was so NOT thrilled when she finally replaced it with just a regular old green artificial tree back in the early 90's. I think she sold the aluminum one at a rummage sale or something. I really wish she had held onto it.
 
All that tinsel reminds me of our tree when I was a kid

The ladies had style!

Best part is the tinsel though. That stuff looked beautiful. My mom took forever applying it -- like one strand at a time. But when they started making it out of plastic it looked weird and tinsel days were over.

yup, the heavier weight tinsel looked nicer but I guess the risk of lead poisoning justified it being pulled from the market.
 
Merry Christmas and Wesolych Swiat to you and yours, @RedAngie ! I love those pictures and what I wouldn't give to be a kid again, spending Christmas in my grandma's crowded, noisy, smoky living room next to the tacky tree. :cloud9:

This year I actually tried to talk the household into a big, shiny silver tree (yes, you can still get them), which would have been perfect with the decor of our new place. I was roundly outvoted. Maybe next year. :santa:

I’m impressed that you didn’t need a google translator app to wish me greetings in Polish. ;)

Have a great holiday!
 
Great pictures, Angie!! True words, Annette, about those old days. And yes, lead tinsel was the best.
