CASTEL CRIVENS CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS...


The paper streamer on the ceiling is from the '50s or early '60s

You asked for them, you pleaded for them, you demanded them (well, four of you expressed a mild interest), so here they are - many of my Christmas decorations for this year.  Starting at the back of the living-room and working our way around to the TV, here's a brief pictorial panoply to show you how I celebrate the festive season.  I'll include footnotes in each pic if there's anything I think you might like to know.

Sharp-eyed Crivs will spot that I now have two Fireball XL5 Bagatelles

This ornament lights up and Santa in his sleigh revolves, while accompanied by music

Last year (as in previous ones) I had tinsel stars hanging from the ceiling

That's another (small) tree in front of the MWOM picture.  It lights up when plugged in

The paper streamer above the wall plate is around 40 years old

You can see part of another Xmas tree to the left of the pic.  The central one is fibre optic

I used to put more Xmas decorations here, but there's not enough space now

The main Xmas tree, which is older than I am

The paper globe is as old as the tree

Four Woolworth Santas hang from the distinctly '70s looking clock

The mice in my house are enormous

It's nice to see those old-fashioned paper decorations, Kid.

All I can say is "WOW"! You definitely have a wonderful collection, vintage and modern. Makes me want to decorate now, but it's a bit late for this year. Seeing your photos really lifted my spirits, Kid. Thanks!

Guess what - it's even nicer to own them, CJ.

Never too late, LM. Do it today - they don't need to come down 'til the 6th Jan.
