Look for Updated Vintage Christmas lights
When I was a young girl, we helped my widowed aunt and cousin string vintage Christmas lights around their tree every year. The vintage Christmas lights were brilliant large round balls of many colors. They were much larger than any other Xmas lights popular back then. Mini lights seemed to dominate the market at that time. So, these were the only vintage Christmas lights I knew of and my cousin took great care of them because she loved them. I was told they were irreplaceable. They are more easily found these days with many more companies catering to those of us with special memories of our vintage Christmas lights.
Anticipate the Arrival of the Bubble lights
Like anticipation of the arrival of Christmas, bubble lights made us practice patience as we waited for the bubbling action to start. It was quite exciting to watch the bubble lights warm up. It seemed to take five minutes but it probably was much less than that. The bubble lights seemed to glow with warmth and peace. It was a calming effect during a hectic holiday season. The bubble lights looked like tiny little candles illuminating the tree reminding us of what Christmas’ were like in previous years. Bubble lights have been popular for years and now come in many colors, sizes, and shapes. Today, we use bubble light night-lights for each of our children’s bedrooms to remind us of our wonderful childhood Christmas’.
Make the Season Bright with Christmas tree lights
The most beautiful part of decorating for Christmas is putting the Christmas tree lights on the tree. It is so exciting to see the Christmas tree lights progress from bottom to top illuminating the way to the tree topper. When I was young, we used a combination of multi-colored twinkling Christmas tree lights and multi-colored non-twinkling Christmas tree lights. There were some years we added monochromatic white to this mix. Although I don’t decorate like that today, I thought the trees looked absolutely lovely back then. To me, Christmas tree lights are the most important decorating tool during the holidays. They evoke a festive spirit. I can watch the Christmas tree lights for hours completely memorized by their beauty.
