Christmas Tree Lights

No mini lights back when I was growing up, all of our christmas tree lights were big and fat. I liked them.

George Beverly Shea Christmas Record

Another Christmas record we owned.

Glass Christmas Ornaments

We loved the ornaments we had that looked like these, we looked forward to putting them on the tree each Christmas. We had one with the 3 wisemen on camels and the "Silent Night" ornament with the church. Mom told us she bought them either before she was married or the first year she was married, which would have meant they were from around 1956. I'm surprised they lasted so long with 6 children helping to decorate the tree every year.

Ziggy Candle

I think this was my older sisters.

Little Elf

My brother had an elf like the green one in this picture, we'd always put it on the tree.

Tree Top Angel

This was our Christmas tree topper. She wasn't fancy and didn't light up but we loved her anyway!

Christmas Ornaments

We had plastic ornaments like these on our tree every year.

Dick Nolan's Atlantic Christmas Record

Another Christmas record we owned, Dick Nolan was a Newfoundland singer.

Angel Ornaments

We had 1 or 2 angel ornaments like these but I can't remember what colour. At least I think we had them. If we didn't then my aunt next door did.

Snowmen Ornaments

I like looking through vintage Christmas ornaments on Ebay, there's always something there that we owned. We had snowmen ornaments like the 2 smiling ones in the middle of this picture.

Eaton's Christmas Catalogue

An Eaton's catalogue from 1975, I distinctly remember this cover, I was 9 years old and I probably wanted that dress.

Angels

We had angel ornaments like these, little angel heads on chenille stems. We would stick them on the tree.

Catherine McKinnon, I'll Be Home For Christmas

Another Christmas record we owned, I remember liking this one a lot.

Santa Candles

My aunt had these candles and put them out every year but she never lit them.

Elf Snow Globe

We had an elf snowglobe like this, I have no idea where it came from. But ours was only partly filled with water just like this one.

Santa Boot

This Santa boot would be filled with hard candy and sit on the end table in the living room. It wasn't Christmas without it!

Christmas Record

This was one of the few Christmas records we owned.....Wilf Carter's "Christmas in Canada".

Santa Lights

This hung in our kitchen window every Christmas. The lights blinked off and on.

Angel Pin

My sister got this angel pin the same Christmas that I got the little drummer boy pin.

Little Drummer Boy Pin

I think my aunt gave me this one year for Christmas.

The Littlest Snowman

This was my sister's book. I don't remember all of the story, something about children putting out tubs of ice cream because there was no snow and after it blows around and makes snow drifts they make "snowmen" out of ice cream.

Dog Nutcracker

This nutcracker was heavy, I think it was made from solid iron. We only used it at Christmas time, I guess because that's the only time we had nuts to crack.
