    Moving into a new house has had me really reassessing all my past aesthetic choices, and this includes my past Christmas decorations. Holiday decor can lean really cheesy, really fast if not done right. In the past, my holiday decor has been pretty ‘Scandinavian’ in style and I liked that but I feel as though I have shifted my style to more of a mcm look; however in doing some research, I have found that I am not the biggest fan of the metallic “futuristic” look that came with the holidays in this style.

    I know you don’t like the 60s retro Christmas trees but as a child we had a silver tree with red and green ornaments as well as a color wheel that projected different colors onto the tree and I loved it! My sisters and I would lay down on the carpet and just stare at the tree all night. A favorite Christmas memory of mine. Merry Christmas to you, Austin, and sweet Danny!

    Gorgeous ornaments! Love the vintage vibe. You should raise up the tree on a platform so it better fits the room since you have such tall ceilings now. I remember seeing that at malls (in the US) in the 70's and 80's where they had trees up on big blocks. Maybe give it a try?? You never know!

We had lots of Angel Hair and tinsel, the Nativities would be set up. The whole house glowed. My Mom and Dad were not people of means, but we had the happiest times.

I was born in 1950 and our tree was always a real one, my mum and dad were both very artsy (Dad an artist, mum a drama teacher) and they would never put a silver tree in their house! lol . We lived in England til I was 14 though so I don`t know if the trees were a North American thing or what. I remember having the birds with the clips though.

    I have to put myself in context, I was born in 1955. Spent my childhood in the '60s and my teenage years and college years in the 70s. Never in my life has my family ever had a metal tree for Christmas. The magazines put those ridiculous aluminum trees everywhere, but my parents always bought a little pine tree from the local tree lot. I don't think my mother ever bought a fake tree while I was living at home. So don't feel like you're not in keeping with the era of your home when you get a warm and cozy Christmas tree.

    I sometimes use just a length of fabric for a tree skirt, especially when my color needs are not very Christmassy. Also a large basket might work, then with fake presents in the basket...the crock was a great idea, but not that particular one. I had a cast iron antique stand (for a real tree) that I loved, but it was very heavy (no kidding) and never really worked for the fake tree. It is now a kindling holder outside.

    I use the old light bulbs from the jar as to:/from: tags on gifts. I use a fine tip sharpie and they last to use year after year! I tie them to the gift with ribbon and also tie on peppermints. It would be beautiful if you tied old timey butterscotch for your colors! Any fabric you love is great for a tree skirt. An old MCM quilt or fabric in you colors, white fur like your rugs at the fireplace, burlap, whatever! Everything looks amazing!

    Tree skirt: we moved into a house with taller ceilings and our tree was just dwarfed in the room. I put our tree on a box and wrapped a big cozy blanket around it. It turned out perfectly.

    I move two tall plant shelves that live in front of a large window for 10.5 months, so the tree can be enjoyed from both the outside as well as our living room. As for the Christmas theme throughout the apartment I don't really have one, but all the decor is gold, royal blue and purple. The decor is a mixture of vintage, thrifted, things from January sales and my mother. We'll be hosting Christmas day for the 3rd time and I'm already stressed, but all the cold drinks make the day go faster in the heat. Just decorate for Christmas and enjoy.

    Oh gosh Becky, I feel like you captured a lot of good vibes, I grew up with a lot of 70's things, and our Christmas tree had glass ornaments that had cool shapes and great colors, we also had ice cicles that my mom and I would put on the branches every year, we also had garlands that were made out of beads that wrapped around the tree. I still have a lot of those older ornaments and I also gave my daughter and son in law and grand kids some of the older ornaments because I wanted my daughter to enjoy those ornaments that were her grandparents. I also remember that the tree skirt that my parents had was made from felt and had some decor onround it that my mom made from beads and sequens I still have those they are just no longer attatched to the tree skirt that wore out. Thanks for a really fun video that I loved watching, Merry Christmas to you, Austin and cute Danny, stay safe and happy, sending love and hugs, bye!! 🥰💚🌺❄☃🎄

  • @leem200
    @leem200 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Some of the retro 70's is ice cycles, drop bulbs, little bulbs that had like star things on the front for middle of the tree. BUBBLE BULBS and twinkle lights multi colors, beaded garland, or tinsel garland, folded paper stars or bells, just a few things. Always, candy cane and chocolate Santas that hung on the tree. Ice Cycles made out of strands of thin long thin tin foils strips called ice cycles. Peace!

    Becky, I love your holiday decor videos so much, thank you for sharing! I’d say your style is 70s woodland, I love the whimsical elements like mushrooms and acorns and the golden amber pops of color! I would be thrilled to see you DIY some funky stockings using thrifted materials or even remnants you may have at home, you could look at some examples of vintage stockings in department store catalogue archives or even old family photos! For the tree skirt if you have more of those sheepskins they would look great, or even a cozy blanket could work.

    I grew up with my mom's 70's Christmas decorations. She was married in 1972. She told me her tree was all gold. She had a sparse-style fake tree. All gold lights with a really cool faceted cover on them. Satin thread-wrapped balls. Later, she added a red satin ball and bows to the gold ornaments when my dad grew tired of the monochromatic tree. It was simple but really pretty.

    My Christmas style is traditional/snowy woodland with wildlife vibes. I like warm colours though so it’s not all white at all. I often have wooden or warm coloured traditional ornaments on top of the green pine tree that has snowy tips. I also tuck a variety of little animal ornaments deeper into the tree for hidden moments of cuteness. :)

    Here in The Netherlands 🇳🇱 we didn't really sell fake Christmas trees in the 60s/70s. My Parents (b.1931/b.1933) always had a real tree. "Our" Christmas decoration style slowly chanded over their 50+ year marriage. As a small child, in 1976, I still remember we had real Christmas candles in our real tree (with my Dad and and a bucket of sand next to it - if the tree should accidentally go up in flames!!).
    That was, till real trees (even tiny ones) got sooo expensive, at the end of the 80s. So that's when we invested in a, German bought, small fake one in 1989. Which served my elderly Parents till they both passed away in 2019. I still have some of their most cherished real glass tree ornaments from the 60s, that I display (I don't have a Christmas tree: because of storage room issues). Decorating Christmas trees is such a personal thing: when it comes to the style choice. ✌🏻☺️🇳🇱
