Christmas is just around the corner

Christmas brings so many happy memories from childhood and adolescence. It was the time that Christmas trees were real pine with that distinctive forest smell that made the whole experience of decorating the tree so much more! Money was scarce during those times so you had to devise your decorative items using your creativity and whatever you could find around the house. Shiny, glossy candy and chocolate wrappers, old little toys, old Christmas cards from friends and relatives from all over the world!
