Reusing Past Christmas Decorations

December 2nd, 2009 at 11:55 am

Its time to think Christmas again so all my Christmas storage areas got raided today and things that I will use this year have come out to be used yet again! All my decorations are reused from year to year as I have stopped buying them now!

I have just finished putting up my decorations, two small Christmas trees one is Advent Christmas tree and other one is two feet Christmas that I bought over 11 years ago when I gave up on large trees and all work that goes with it. I put out some things to remember the past generations and memory of years gone I have put the plastic wreath on the door and hand made one in a fixed window plus out the angels that people have given the family over the years. Now it down to doing my Christmas card which I have enough to last a lifetime as a lot are now sent via email instead. As for wrapping paper now with not having a lot of people to give gift to its now enough for lifetime too!

Now its down to look at my gift list and last of my Christmas shopping before the shops are fill with children and people buying last minute gifts. I now dont walk fast enough for them so I avoid this time of the year in shopping mall if I can!

    A content childhood memory is of decorating the tree with old things. "This little chair was made by your grandmother from a tin can during World War II." (And it was intricate and amazing!) "This cardinal was made by your Great Aunt Eva, she felted the wool herself." (How did she make those little bird feet?) "This box of ornaments was a present when we first got married. They are from Germany." (Oh, the shapes and the ground glass glitter glued on!) "These flowers are also from Grandma. She makes them to keep exercising her arthritic hands." (Again amazing craft of stiff steel wire and tiny glass beads.) "We've had this box of tinsel since your third brother was born. Maybe we need another new box this year." (The tinsel was lead and we loved to play with it.)...Old is good.
