Hello Christmas friends ,can't believe there are only 40 days until I start decorating.
So glad to be back here among my fellow Christmas fanatics.

What a beautiful photo Papa:elf3: Can't wait to see what will you do this year:santa:

[Eric Brown]

Lovely picture papa! Can't wait to see your beautiful decoration for this year...

[JollyElfDC]

I'm looking forward to your pictures!

[ornamentmaven]

Hi papa - good to see you back!

[MinnesotaMike]

It's getting to be that time again! :tree:

Hello everyone, Happy Thanksgiving.
Been very busy the last few weeks, but we're hoping to be done with most of the inside this weekend.
Supposed to be raining all weekend so no need to mess with the outside lights for now.
I've been to busy to post but here is a few photos of our newest addition the Retro tree.
I'm trying to recreate the trees of my childhood with new retro ornaments and LED lights.

I can see this tree becoming a big tree in the future.

Looks amazing Papa :christmastree:

Love the retro tree. I have a lot of ornaments from the 50's that were given to me by my Mom and Mother-in-law. I only use a few each year because they are dull from the hot lights they used to use on their trees. Love your new retro ones!

[JollyElfDC]

I love the retro tree! I know we have a much bigger variety of Christmas decorations now, but sometimes I look at old pictures when the main decorations were just balls and tinsel, and think much simpler life was back then.:christmastree:

[Moley]

I like your tree! Indeed life was simpler then. My favourite childhood Christmas tree decorations were actually given away with boxes of washing powder in the 1970s. The modernist for the time baubles became heirloom ornaments which my sister now uses on her tree.

Papa very nice i just love it,as i myself like the retro style,living here in new england it's a Norman Rockwell christmas which is easy for me as his son Jarvis is my neighbor and he allows me to take whatever white birch and pine and pinecones i need to do my decor,he is a very dear friend.:christmastree:

[Merry Christmas Darling]

Papa, I think you know that I love those reproduction Shiny Brites!

[steph535]

I love the retro tree!

[tinkerbell2]

Looking good papa..x

[Papa_Christmas]

Thanks for your kind comments .
The inside is finally finished and we will start on the outside lights this evening.
So here is this year's Wonderland.
