'Tis the season

Having completed 2/3 of my Christmas decorating, I admit to the fact that my most favorite décor is red and green (with touches of gold) – this is the standard with which I have grown up (with one diversion many, many moons ago when aluminum trees were the rage.)  When I was purchasing decorations for my own home the first time, I managed to find some lovely traditional style seasonal cheer.  I admit, these were purchased decades ago and they still have an allure for me.  They were quality decorations; I have packed, repacked and moved them over a few decades.  Yes, I adore the contemporary decorations….the ideas, the charm, the creativeness….all gorgeous.  But, I would need a separate storage space for all those lovely decorations if I kept up with all that is offered.  (Oh, not to mention winning the lottery would help.)  In spite of this, I have come to the conclusion, that my decorations are vintage, yep, vintage.  This fits, indeed, they fit into my vintage home décor.  I live in a vintage house, built in the early 70’s.  Yes, I do have several new pieces of furniture and/or accessories and have contemporary amenities, but most of my things are, yes, vintage.  These, too, have followed me over eight moves.  I like them, they are comfortable, and they are my connection to whatever heritage I have.  And, of course, they are appropriate; because, after all I am vintage.
