I bet you were expecting to see a tree decorated with Shiny Brites. All in good time. Should it really take a week to decorate a skinny, 5 foot tree?
But this photo was taken when I was just starting the tree decorating process the other day. I had just unwrapped all my ornaments and tossed them in a Coke crate, so that I could make sure everything had their hangers securely attached before I put them on the tree this time. Lacey's favorite pastime is wagging her tail as she walks past the tree and getting ornament hangers snagged on her butt, so I was trying to avoid any unfortunate accidents this year.
I turned around to grab another ornament and ran to grab my camera instead. Nothing says Christmas more than a jumble of Shiny Brites.
This is where my Mom would say that a nativity scene or a choir or something like that probably says Christmas more. But in a commercial sort of way, Shiny Brites do it for me.
What says Christmas to you?

Anything Christmassy and vintage does it for me, but nothing more so than big old-fashioned energy wasting outdoor Christmas lights. Shame on me!

Shiny Brites. I love that they spelled it Brite too. Kind of just to through you off. When I dig in boxes at estate sales and see that classic spelling I swear I become tachycardic.

How about all of the above! I think a little bit of each one is just perfect!

I love vintage ornaments. I have some that my folks bought in the 1960s. They are so special.
