Vintage Christmas toys and decorating the Christmas tree with sweets

Real vintage and antique Christmas tree toys for the New Year can become an original decoration, especially if you manage to decorate the whole tree with only vintage decorations.

Old does not mean unfashionable, it means having a history, and New Year is one of the holidays when we remember our history, previous celebrations, family meetings, perhaps the history of the New Year itself, the past of our Motherland. Therefore, decorating a Christmas tree in a vintage style is an excellent stylistic solution that will delight the owners of the house and impress guests.

The case is small, find vintage Christmas tree decorations.
If you carefully kept Christmas tree decorations inherited from grandmothers and great-grandmothers, you will not have any difficulties, get a box with vintage ornaments inherited from the pantry. Only not all Russians are so thrifty, many, on the contrary, strive to get rid of everything old, and when our grandparents leave, people throw out absolutely everything.

And if they hadn't thrown it out, it would have been enough to open grandmother's chest, blow off the dust from the Christmas tree decorations, find several old postcards lying around, for a magical New Year's fairy tale to begin.

However, if you wish, you can find vintage Christmas tree decorations. Visit flea markets, where many different people sell all kinds of things. When you quickly pass between the rows, it seems that they are selling exclusively trash, but if you look closely, it is quite possible that you will be able to find something good. The author of these lines managed to find very interesting things on the most ordinary Russian flea markets, which were bought for 5-50 dollars, and then sold to wealthy clients for completely different amounts - with three or four zeros.

True, this applies to real collectibles, with Christmas tree toys everything is much easier.

If you don't have time to search for old Christmas tree decorations now, you can do otherwise - decorate the Christmas tree with sweets. In Medieval Europe, it was customary to decorate the Christmas tree exclusively with edible - everything that they were rich in. Compared to the Middle Ages, we have more opportunities, so we can decorate our Christmas tree with various exotic fruits and unusual cookies, marmalade and marshmallows, sweets in a beautiful wrapper, lollipops wrapped in foil, nuts and much more.

Decorating a Christmas tree with sweets has its advantages, which will be appreciated by children and girls who love sweets.
