How lovely are these vintage Christmas cards? They could actually work as decorations really. On my Christmas tree we have loads of different things and the best part is: they don't actually match. My Christmas tree is a rainbow of madness but that rainbow is extremely Christmassy. 
We have; Baubles, Books, Candy Cane, Elves, Robins, Holly, Stars, Fruit, Coins, Snowmen and basically a whole heap of vintage tat that has been collected over the years from family and friends castoffs. It's not that we cant buy our own things its just that we don't see the point. Because really what is the point in buying new Christmas decorations every year or at least every few? 
I don't get the people who have different themes for each year. Does it really matter if the baubles are red and gold and the crimson ribbons are tied neatly to ONLY the top of the tree? Is that really what Christmas has come down to? Decorations? God I hope not because if that's the case than my family are completely screwed. 
Surely the spirit of Christmas should not be " which house is going to have the best luminous Christmas display" and "whose going to light their roof?" but really "for once lets all just get along and share in the Christmas spirit of giving instead of competing!"Plus if we are all being honest people who decorate their lawns are tacky and in no way is a giant flashing Rudolph at all festive, how will Santa even get down the chimney if a life size blow up figure is cheerily already blocking it? Lets not even start on the fire hazards of such a thing!
So my message is enjoy Christmas but please please enjoy it in the least headache nausea attached way possible. For the sake of all those who actually want to enjoy this holiday because its the season to be jolly etc and not because we want to show off our bank balance with the whole nativity spread on our lawns. Because that is just blergh!Haha on that happy note MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE xxx
