Our Star Trek Christmas tree is coming along nicely!

I should be getting the final ornaments in the next week or so - a light up/sound Borg Cube and a DS9.

This charming 1931 magazine page presents a collection of handmade Christmas tree decorations under the title “Gay Trifles for the Christmas Tree.” The layout features a large illustration of a stylized white Christmas tree adorned with simple, homespun ornaments in soft red and pink tones. These decorations—paper stars, stockings, tiny dolls, candy containers, garlands, parrots, cornucopias, and small house shapes—are crafted from materials like colored paper, gingham, wool, gauze, and peanuts.

Along the left side are individual illustrations of each ornament style, numbered and paired with brief descriptions explaining what each circular (instruction booklet) teaches: how to make a paper house, a kindergarten star, a red paper Santa, a gingham dog, a paper cornucopia, bags trimmed with wool, and more.

The text at the bottom invites readers to make these ornaments affordably with the help of the magazine’s “New Method Circular,” available by mail for small fees. The overall aesthetic is nostalgic and handmade, reflecting early 20th-century craft culture and Depression-era creativity, offering whimsical, accessible ways to decorate a Christmas tree using simple household materials.

This 1951 Gorham Sterling advertisement from Ladies’ Home Journal is a perfect snapshot of mid-century holiday marketing—elegant, aspirational, and beautifully illustrated. Set against a festive green backdrop with white sparkles and draped greenery, the ad showcases nine different sterling silver fork patterns, each meticulously drawn to highlight the craftsmanship Gorham was known for. From the ornate curves of “King Edward” and “Melrose” to the cleaner, modern lines of “Old French” and “Etruscan,” the layout celebrates variety while reinforcing the idea of silver as a timeless Christmas gift. The typography is equally evocative, with warm holiday messaging promising that “giving or getting, you’ll be proud—it’s Gorham Sterling.” At the bottom, the copy emphasizes tradition, quality, and accessibility, capturing an era when fine flatware symbolized good taste, stability, and family rituals.

There was a fad during my teen years of making giant papier mache Christmas balls using weather balloons as the armature. One could write to the government and receive ten weather balloons free. BELIEVE IT, OR NOT. #art #papiermache #Christmas #1970s #vintagechristmas

Huzzah to our local Ace Hardware Store for supporting the old tradition of Christmas Window Painting. I remember the wonder of watching a man paint the garage windows of my family's Dodge Dealership in the 1960s. #christmas #vintagechristmas #windowpainting
