Blow Mold Christmas Extravaganza

[ScottA]

These are awesome. I love the blow mold stuff.

We have one Snowman from the 70's I've had most of my life. Most of the paint is gone and when it's lit it looks like dirty snow. It's weird but I love it.

Nice display and collection you have!

Nice! I gave my ceramic trees a break this year, but they are faves. I especially like your clowny snowman.

Super retro Christmas goodness! That's pretty awesome Chris.

Nice stuff, they look great all lit up. I might have to start looking for some of these.

Now I'm waiting for a certain someone to post pics of the blow molded decorations that I've witnessed him buy during this year.

Thumbs WAAYY up! I salute you for your excellent taste in Christmas decorating! (I'm also envious! You've got some real treasures in there!) Well done, sir!

Ok, don't ask me why but I have the ELO song Evil Woman - with woman replaced by Snowman - stuck in my head

This one looks like an evil snowman who just finished digging a grave

Very cool !!!

Only thing, Jesus needs some sort of bedding.

As is, he looks very uncomfortable

Thanks! I have seen quite a few more blow molds in use this year. Maybe I'm noticing them because I'm really looking for them, but either way it's more than I recall seeing in years.

Here's our interior collection, plus a few other vintage Christmas knick-nacks along with them.



I got this one this summer at a yard sale for a $1! I couldn't pay the woman fast enough.



I've had this one for several years now. Not sure where he originated from.



This little guy is a new addition as well. I picked him up at a Goodwill! He still has his bright and shiny UL rated sticker on the back!



These are the two oldest decorations in use at my house. The Santa face belonged to my grandparents, where we'd do our big Christmas Eve gift-giving and have Christmas Day dinner. It hung on their front door.

The Santa figure belong to my mom, and my grandparents had an identical one as well. He's made of a really hard plastic, and his feet are cracked and patched up with black electric tape. He's full of pennies to weigh him down. But I wouldn't trade him for a brand new version. No way.



Got this ceramic lighted tree at an estate sale. These have really made a comeback this year! Cindy and our daughter glazed and decorated one at a local pottery store.



Our Playing Mantis Rankin/Bass figures surround the tree that belong to Cindy's grandmother. It's HUGE! I love the snow on it.



This Telco Santa motionette is from the early 90s when Wal-Mart was stocked full of these! You barely see them now. The blue Santa my mom made with TV Guides for the bottom. She made several like that over the years.



The village in the middle and the little white tree with blue birds was made by a local artist who was friends with my mom and sold stuff through the Hallmark store Mom managed. My dad still has my mom's copy, but this one belonged to my grandparents.

Great post. I miss the days when I would see those everywhere.

Love it! My front lawn is covered in these as well.
