I remember these ball trees from my childhood, although my family never had one. I'd been on the lookout at the antique malls and thrift stores and finally found one. I picked up the balls during an after-Christmas sale at Michael's a few years later. The little snow guy is another antique mall find from a few years back. These days I still sometimes go to antique malls, but I never buy anything. If only I had more room or less stuff... 🤣
...I've never seem a ball tree. Neat satin and shiny balls and selfie.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was a Southern thing...
DeleteSweet!
ReplyDeleteThey did a piece on my morning show, comparing new and old Christmas favourites!
So many of the old ones havebeen forgotten. They can be hard to find, which seems a shame given all the streaming services.
DeleteIt starts rather complicated.
ReplyDeleteBut I LOVE that tree, good idea!
I hope I don't break the balls!
DeleteAll those famous people and I was never tempted to watch this one. I tend to avoid spooky or horror movies especially around the holidays. I'm more an It's A Wonderful Life type of holiday movie watcher--lol!
ReplyDeleteLove the Christmas ball tree. I have never seen them. Green is the perfect color for it. :)
I prefer the more lighthearted Christmas movies, but I'm not at all a fan of It's a Wonderful Life.
DeleteIt's a good cast. I like the ball tree -- I don't remember those but seeing yours I'm enchanted!
ReplyDeleteI knew several people who had them. They do take up more storage space than most decorations, though.
DeleteOh you are on christmas movies at these times - We watched a very nice and really funny french movie : Nöel Joyeux. Maybe you have a look at it.

I'm familiar with a 2005 movie named Joyeux Noel about WW1:

I'll see what I can find about the funny one you suggest. I'm always wanting movie recommendations, thanks!
I've never seen these, but I like that ball tree. I like the alternating rows of shiny and matte ornaments. Happy new week Nita.
ReplyDeleteI saw them everywhere when I was a child. Maybe it was strictly a Southern thing?
DeleteI like the ball tree.
