That's awesome. I love Mackenzie-Childs and that would go perfect with it.

That is why every room now has it's own theme/vibe

Not my tree, but I could get with this lol

I can answer that one... The 60s... My parents had a silver Christmas tree back then...like this one...

At least it wasn't one of those awful pink trees...like this...

Hanukkah decor (blue), and Christmas decor (tree, no blue) is how I always remember those holidays. That's how I put it together when I saw your tree.

I love it.

60s... hmmm I have been delving into the astetics of the 60s vibe for a while. But didn't live it and was more into 50s and 70s than 60.
.
60s is interesting because a good part of the early 60s feels like the 70s and the latter part of the 60s was like the 70s

.

I don't know why I get a vibe about that picture, almost like I'm peering into my parents time or something

.

I really did the metallic trees
The pink is yours?
Do you have decorations from your parents tree left over?

Yeah, aluminum trees were big when I was a little kid... but I always preferred the real tree my Grandparents would get every year...like this one...

me too I prefer the fun,festive Christmas songs as opposed to the slow,sad songs.You know that classic song "Christmastime Is Here"? That one sounds really sad to me,for some reason.

OldFriends4Sale said:

I've been staying away from most 'sad' Christmas songs, not all, just most.

do you like 'modern' Christmas songs?

I never listen to Another Lonely Christmas @ Christmas time

I love the Christmas/winter holiday season. I love the music and the festive vibes and the decorations. I will be minimizing my gift-giving and giving cash as much as possible. I am on a mission to drastically reduce my consumption of plastic and my resist plastic mentality will apply during the holiday season as much as any other time of year.

same here, except for my mom and my older brother, who still have that 'wonder' about Christmas

and I see so many things 'for myself' that I never see all year round lol

But for me it is increasingly about the 'magic' and comfort that I have always continued since I was a kid. Good foods and sweets, movies/cartoons, music, the decorations, having small gatherings, board games etc

love Natalie(RIP)

White. They mostly sell Fraser Fir.

One of my favorite Christmas albums. I love Diane Reeves

I'm putting up my Christmas tree on Friday (the day after Thanksgiving I just bought some new lights and a few new decorations for it.

I think I'm going to start on this Saturday. I'll have people over for Thanksgiving round 2 on Friday

"This Christmas" by Donny Hathaway

This is one of my favorite Christmas movies 'Nothing Like The Holidays'
