Throwback Thursday -

I love anything vintage, but especially vintage Christmas. Here are some of the items I remember from my childhood either at our house or at family and friends houses. I would love to know if you remember any of these from "back in the day". 

I love the little plastic deer. I am actually trying to find some of these to use in a craft idea this year. 

Who remembers the aluminum trees. We had one in one of my elementary class rooms once and I just thought it was the neatest thing. 

I loved these little plastic nativity sets. I actually have a nativity set collection and wish I still had one of these. They have a lot of them on E-bay so I may try to buy one if the price is right.

I love the Shiny Bright brand of Christmas ornaments. I still have some of these for my tree that belonged to my husband's grandmother.



I had forgotten all about these but I think we actually had one or somebody we knew did because I remember them very well.

And I know we had these. We used to love to get to help put them together and Mom would hang them in the doorways.



I loved these old cardboard fireplaces. I wonder if they even still make them.



Another favorite from my childhood. Mom used to always have them in the window.



I don't know if we ever had one but part of me thinks Mom did when we were older and out on our own but I'm not sure. I may have seen one at somebody else's house, but I do remember these.



Don't laugh, but I still cover my tree with icicles. There are so many memories of my childhood tied up in icicles that I cannot imagine doing my tree without them.


I love the big old C9 Christmas tree lights. I keep threatening every year to buy some for my tree but I never have yet.



So, how many of these did you have when you were younger?
