Vintage Christmas - Part II

I haven't started much Christmas decorating yet .

I never start till after Thanksgiving, although that usually means Thanksgiving night.

Not this year , just can't get motivated.

I've got all the fall decorations put away and one tree half decorated,

but that's about it.

Oh, except for a few outdoor displays.

I don't like to do that when it's cold and it's about to get real cold real soon around here.

That brings me to a word I really like ~

KITCH

We are big into vocabulary around here ! LOL

Kitch -noun

something of tawdry design, appearance, or content created to appeal to popular or undiscriminating taste.

Or in other words , tacky.

Now some will and do think plastic lawn ornaments are tacky,

and I agree some are.

However I think it's all in how you display them.

I kinda have a thing for vintage , which you well know if you read my blog at all.

Ok, these are borderline , vintage... but I love them.

Pinterest inspiration ( of course )

I prefer snowmen.

However I do have one Santa.

I missed out on an awesome santa complete with sleigh and reindeer at the thrift store.

I had already paid and was on my way out when I saw it.

Of course I was running late and thought I would get it next time.

Cause who besides me would want a faded plastic Santa with sleigh and reindeer?

I guess someone did , when I went back it was gone !...sigh

anyway....

Now my version,

I promise, someday I WILL learn to take good pictures.

I meant to get a picture of it lit up at night.

Didn't happen....

I got these little guys at the thrift store for $2 each!

Score!

Lit up.

I really love it.

So what do you think ?

Kitsch or tacky?

Love or hate ?

Leave me a comment...

I WILL get started on those trees tomorrow ...

REALLY ....
