    Scott, this video warms my heart...lost both my parents a few years ago, they died a few months apart and I miss them terribly. My Dad was born in 1926 & we always had "old fashioned decorations"Now I do. Thank you for keeping traditional Christmas decorating alive. Merry Christmas!

    When you mentioned the lights that when one burned out they all burned out you brought back a memory for me. I can still see my dad patiently testing them to find the burned out light. Can’t wait to see your tree completed. ❤️🇨🇦

    I have one box of glass ornaments, very similar to the ones your mug is sitting on when you first begin showing them. They, along a with a 1950’s music box manger, are are my greatest Christmas treasures from childhood, passed along from my grandparents to my mom and on to me. Love seeing all your decorations and the old C7 lights. Total Time Machine back to childhood. Thank you.

    Love the music 🎵 and esthetic. While I would think it unlikely, if you ever were to consider selling the blue Santa and bells ornament at 14:43 mark, I would appreciate having a chance to purchase it. It reminds me of an ornament from my very early childhood and I never knew its ultimate fate. Nothing better than old incandescent

You have enhanced my life in many ways this past year; I thank you so much and wish you a very Merry Christmas! The old ornaments are so precious and will never be made again, it’s always a joy to see them. Your home and sense of decorating is awesome! 🌲😘

      Not a problem because I use my old lights on dimmer switches.

      @BeecuzWEcan Před 9 měsíci

      Wow Scott, your collection of ornaments are amazing. Thanks for the advice about using a dimmer switch for the old C7s. I picked up two of the old candelabras (each with 8 candles) at an estate sale to sell in my Etsy shop but was worried about how hot they get. So, now I know the trick to keeping them safer. Thanks hon!!

    My parents had a lot of those ornaments from the 1950s and '60s. Quite a few years ago, they were downsizing and had a rummage sale at their house. I stopped by as their sale ended and they were throwing out some stuff that didn't sell. They were going to throw away all those ornaments! In their original boxes! I rescued them from the trash and basically said, "Here! Take my money!" They just gave them to me and couldn't understand why I was so excited about them. But I do love them. So many memories for me. I always loved Christmas just about more than anything. Most of the ornaments were in great condition. Some had paint loss due to the flocking they used to spray the tree with. Do you remember that?? Terrible stuff!

    What a beautiful collection of ornaments, many like I got from my mother. Unfortunately my kitty 🐈‍⬛ Maxwell won’t cohabit nicely with a big decorated tree so I’m enjoying them from your video. We put up a tabletop tree with unbreakable decorations. Fortunately he doesn’t bother with ceramic and glass knick nacks. So it does still look like Christmas here.

  • @alinsk61
    @alinsk61 Před 9 měsíci

    You were right to say that people used to use 1-2 sets of lights 'in the old days'. Though the cost of light sets had come down considerably since their introduction (in 1904), they were still pricey in the 1920s, and most people certainly didn't overload their trees with lights. Your light sets are mid-century, I believe. 1920s light sets had cloth cords, composition sockets (not bakelite), and used narrower, 'flame' bulbs first patented by Westinghouse in the year 1920. They're still available at auction, many in their colorful, period cardboard boxes! Authentic replacement bulbs are also fairly easy to find (they were still in production in the 1970s). To help brighten your tree in the 1920s, narrow tinsel garlands (NOT icicles) from Germany were a popular decoration.

    The first part of the video reminded me of an ol Donald Duck Christmas cartoon, and that’s a good thing. Love the ornaments. Our family had the Shiny Brites and I have some my mom gave me in the last century. Thanks so much Scott for sharing your nostalgia; I really enjoyed it! Happy New Year!

    Now we're talkin Christmas!..i gotta dig around until i find your Finished tree! Hope you put on the tinsel...that stuff is So Magical......yeah..i have a big set of these old lights...LOVE them...even though the newer tiny lights have a lot of bells & whistles...nothing compares to the old bulbs, imho. I also have some of the newer see thru twinkle screw ins that blink individually & they even have a beautiful pink bulb in that set..& the blue is a deeper blue than the older set. in fact All of the colours are darker...&..i had...a lit tin star...& a ton of the shiny Bright old glass ornaments..just like yours. BUT......but.
    i had.......past tense
    Not many left now. Our kitty...decided she wanted to decorate the tree...with herself. It was lovely..until it crashed to the ground. Lost a few..but that was not the end..she climbed back into the tree 2 more times..so..ended up loosing quite a few of the glass balls.
    i tried tying the tree to a nail in the wall...& that worked..until she decided to climb back in the tree & bat the balls down...what didn't break on impact she chased.
    Anyways..many years later...she passed away this summer..so..ima do the Old timey tree again...& im putting her pic in one of the new clear glass balls. So..she can be back in her tree.
