We Wish You A Vintage Christmas

Back to Christmas for this weeks' Pinteresting link up. I am living vicariously through my blog because there is no point in setting up Christmas here this year... I have to wait till we move to the farm. So instead of getting a whole month of Christmas decorations I will get a week (hopefully the Country Boy won't mind me setting up the Christmas tree before we unpack anything else).

The one thing I am going to do is send out our Christmas cards with change of address information. So I have been looking at all the beautiful vintage Christmas cards for inspiration.

I love the muted colours of this card. I love pictures of the baby Jesus, because it is his birth that we celebrate at Christmas.
I love an old fashioned Christmas tree.

When I see this I hear Frank Sinatra singing "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas". We worked in England over Christmas many years ago, and had our own "White Christmas". I loved it!
Here comes Santa Clause. If your are a regular, you would know that we don't believe in Santa in our house, but we still enjoy seeing him working hard.

I love this picture. It's an old 7up Christmas advertisement. I am trying to think up something witty as a caption, but so far I am drawing a blank. Ideas anyone?

  1. OOH i love the white christmas one - i miss those!

    We moved dec 16 last year so we did not do anything - hubby refused to let me set up the tree in the old house (i asked why we could not just stick it in the car to drive it to the new house fully decorated LOL), did not do the advent calendar etc. This year my mother will be here from the States so i think we will be making up for it. Definitely have a quickie decorating run when you move!

  3. Vintage is lovely and a nice change to the plastic commercialism we so often see. Good luck with the move!

  6. I like to say I dream of a white Christmas but really, when I think about it, I don't think I could handle snow. Love that last pin, it's so joyful =D
