    My slice of 70s Christmas

    My yearly thing. The cardboard fireplace is in my man cave, and my grandparents' silver tree and Santa are on a ledge above my main entryway.

      I so love this. Perfect! I have melted plastic in every window of my house. Of course, in my family, we call it "Plastic Fleck"

        My friend Tamika had one of those cardboard fireplaces back in the day too.

          Great pics Steve !!!

          The kitty is so life-like

          BTW, LOVE that ledge above your door --- Great display area.

          Santa and Rudolph on the wall is giving me flashbacks -- they're like plastic squishy, right ?

            Little bits of melted plastic Mike. I am partial to them because we always had a few in my elementary school.

              Besides the Santa and Rudolph I think we also had a wreath like that.

              Speaking of wreath and elementary school we used to do a fun holiday project in school ....

              You take a coat hanger and bend it into a circle .... Then take a garbage bag and cut it into strips like 6 inches long by 1 inch wide.

              You then tie these strips to the circle ------ when done it's a pretty decent representation of a wreath.

              To give a snowy feel, use a white garbage bag and add the strips every so often between the green ones

                That's how to decorate for Christmas!

                Makes my Grinch-y heart grow three sizes to see that.

                      Looks great Steve! Our Christmases are getting more retro each year, and I love it. Lots of new old additions this year.

                          Steve, just noticed ... what's up with your evil Santa's ???

                          Santa on fireplace has a weird beard and looks like he's up to no good.

                          Santa to the left of fireplace is clearly ready to strangle somebody

                              That's awesome. Thank you for sharing.
                              You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
