    Im away too much traditional..

    Like old fashioned Christmas and Im a huge fan of red and green colors,
    I love red bows all over the place I decorate and I also hang lots of candy canes and Christmas cards on the tree.
    I like old toys, I always place a nativity scene under the tree and I also love trains under the tree..

    Christmas and the Holiday season brings to me back memories of times past.
    Well, I think, many things, such as decorations, are based on the traditions of my parents and of course, their parents.

    I'm also traditional-love the red and green. But to match my living room decor, I've opted to go with an overall gold theme, although I also have more traditional decorations I use as well.

    I like all kinds of Christmas themes abd colors. I'm so indecisive so I use various themes and colors in different parts of my house. The foyer is a winter wonderland white. The dining room is more formal red velvet ribbon and shiney blown glass and gold ornaments. The kitchem is mostly food-type ornaments on a big wreath in the window and christmas towels and potholders. I put out many old toys, old cards sent to family in the 30's and 40's and family pictures(me with Santa etc) in the guest bedroom.The ornaments on the small tree in there are characters from children's books and movies. And since I can't make up my mind what I like best, the living room tree alternates 4 different themes through the years: Natural rustic with cloth wood and pottery ornaments and wooden "cranberry" garland and colored lights ; a glacial nordic theme with white, crystal and red and white ornaments and a white pearl garland and white lights; "mod" mid century whimsical ornaments in turquoise, chartreuse, royal and some fushia and of course a traditional shiney red and green and gold tree. I guess my decorations would be described as a little bit of everything.

    I'm all about the classic look. We prefer decorations that harken back to days gone by. I think it stems from a deep-rooted affinity for when times were simpler.

    basically traditional with a whole lot of Victorian and Country mixed in. I put up about 13 themed trees but none of them would be considered modern. My very favorite is a 6ft tree that with the exception of the lights is completely family only hand made ornaments that covers over 46 years of handmade ornaments - to me you can't get anymore traditional than that ......
