50 Photos Of Christmas Home Decor In The 1950s And 1960s Show How Much Things Have Changed

The idea of the Christmas gifts fitting on a small table seems way more sustainable than the mountains of gifts we see nowadays.

This reminds me of my Grandma tree decorating back then, she always such a perfectionist when it came to her house during the Christmas holiday. I miss her and my Grandpa so much. ❤️❤️🎄🎄☃️☃️

Love this winter white, pink and red!

I love Christmas trees on tables. Our one sits on the table but it's only a small one.

Love this tree! Simple and elegant which makes it timeless.

Doggo is not amused.

ummm, excuse me...you said there would be treats involved.

Dog is saying, “You will be the first to die and it WILL be slow. VERY slow.”

he is like wth did you do to me

Seriously loving all those Christmas Cards, I remember my Grandparents always had so many!!

Cats. Destroying Christmas since..ever.

"What'd you get?" "I got lot of good stuff!"

This was obviously taken when people actually sent Christmas cards - a practice that never should have died.

Ooooh...that blue dress if so pretty.

She (right) is trying her best to smile while knowing her mother-in-law (left) is judging her tree trimming skills to no end.

those women look so pissed off

I like that one – completely over the top, but with style.

....everything is so....flowery....

This was the tree we had growing up in the 60s. You could not put electric lights on them (you could get a powerful shock), but you had a lighted "color wheel" on the floor projecting colored light onto the silver branches.

I grew up with those casserole dishes.

Oooh, someone got a Corningware set from Santa!

I noticed the tea pot!!! My family has that tea pot still!!!

Santa brought mom new casserole dishes.

The color of all the trees in A Charlie Brown Christmas are starting to make sense.

I remember those aluminum trees. Never much cared for them though.

We should all do a community upload of our trees if have one!! I don't know how to start a post, but I'd upload our little tree, and love to see all of yours. This my happy place :)

Only cards...?? no gifts..??

The aluminum tree was something of a high tech 60s thing. Never had one myself, but I do remember them and the color wheel which you had to have to make the tree change colors. Memories. I'm wondering if the tv is color.

Tinsel. omg. I remember so much tinsel.

And 60 years later they are still finding tinsel on the floor.

I love the old lead tinsel! I was lucky enough to find a couple of boxes last year and treat them gold because they were pricey and I doubt I'll get lucky enough to find any more.

I like this one

I remember when everyone had carpet like that. I'm old!

Is that the original "If I Fits I Sit" cat??
