Christmas often evokes nostalgia, reminding us of cherished childhood traditions that shape our family celebrations today. What did you love most about Christmas as a kid? Whether it's the festive themes or the cozy home decorations, each element reflects our fondest memories of this special time of year. Here’s some things you may or may not include in your Christmas decorating based on what you grew up with.
Colored Lights Over White Lights
Were you one of those kids who always thought white lights were boring, and opted for your own tree instead, most often covered with a mishmash of fun ornaments, placed with carefree abandon. There was just something truly magical about them, and maybe you still use them today either in your living room or let your kids adorn their own mini tree just the same.
Themed Decorations
Choosing a color scheme for the holidays is one thing; committing to a favorite movie or TV show is another. For instance, maybe you love How the Grinch Stole Christmas, so you deck out your home to pay homage to a classic. Or maybe it’s just a corner of the home reserved for “nerdy” things like Star Wars. (Or maybe you just stick that iconic Christmas Story lamp on an end table and call it good.)
Antique Décor
On the more sentimental side, maybe you have old boxes of antique ornaments, wrapped carefully in tissue, that have been used to decorate the family tree for generations. Paired with some simple pearls and white lights, they never fail to add beauty and class to your holiday touches.
Christmas Villages
Whether the collection be a grand display or small arrangement, there was always something magical about the little Christmas village displays. A train that circled the tiny town or some sparkling fake snow added an extra whimsical element.
