A Flickr Christmas: Walking in a Vintage Wonderland

retro-card-03


I LOVE the holidays! The smells, the gatherings, the FOOD. But my favorite part (aside from the birth of Jesus of course!) is the tree! There's nothing better than drinking hot chocolate, listening to Nat King Cole on the hi-fi, and decorating the tree with all sorts of colorful ornaments, both new and old.  What's your favorite part of the holiday season?

  2. those ornaments remind me of my grandma and i love them for that. so beautiful even when they start to crackle and wear a little bit. that gives them even more character.
