Antique Christmas Decorations

There is no other season of the year I enjoy more than Christmas. As soon as the radios start to play Christmas music right after Thanksgiving, I am in the attic dragging out the boxes of Christmas decorations. Over the years, I've collected many antique Christmas decorations that belonged to grandparents or other relatives.

I've purchased antique Christmas decorations as well. I like to think that the person who owned it gets some of their Christmas spirit passed on by displaying those once cherished Christmas decorations. My grandmother used to love Christmas. She would decorate her entire house, inside and outside, and had some of the most beautiful decorations. Once she passed away, I inherited them. I make sure that I display some of her favorites every year.

I put my antique Christmas decorations up right after Thanksgiving and display them until New Year's Day. The holiday season is such a wonderful time of the year and the decorations only enhance its happiness and joy in my family. We make a big point of decorating the tree as a family and putting the stockings out. While my children no longer believe in Santa, the magic of Christmas still exists. Their stockings are one of the first things they rummage for when the boxes of antique Christmas decorations are brought down from the attic. Admire the beauty of the season. Perhaps it will help to get you into the Christmas spirit.
