Christmas wasn't put out until the day after T/giving. All the yard decorations were made of wood.

And best of all, everyone said "Merry Christmas."

It’s now after Halloween it seems when things get put out in the stores for the holiday season.  I dont mind saying Happy Holidays as it reflects our wonderful melting pot of holidays around the time.

Dave, I have a colander exactly like the one you posted. We have several others, but this one is the only one I use. Also, I love the Christmas from the '50s and '60s post. Main street and store fronts everywhere were decorated to the 9's. Christmas is online anymore. I miss the ma and pa shops.

    I miss the Mom and Pop stores too!  When you walked in, they all greeted you by name! And I remember my Grandfather’s Barber Shop, where I was always given a lollipop!

       Does anyone else remember a Christmas tree decked with tinsel and Shiny Brite ornaments?

The more tinsel the merrier!  Since having little pets in the house have skipped that now.   It was different back then too,  But this is how I remember our trees back then!

    No tinsel anymore for me either because of a furry little one!

 I remember slingshots. I got dared to try it and still have a scar where it broke and popped me.

You probably won’t know what this is. But if you do…you are really old!! What is it used for?
