Thanks Ted

It was late 60's - early 70's while visiting my aunt and uncle that they showed us their Christmas tree. It was a full size tree that sat in a type of basin or what looked like an upside down umbrella. The basin had small white pellets that went up the center tree pole and were shot out from the top. This "snow" would trickle down the tree to be recycled up the tree again. I was just a small kid but I remember this tree. I just found out that companies are making this self snowing tree again. I can't find anything online about the history of this kind of tree and was wondering if anyone here remembers it.

I know how you feel. I did not want to decorate at all. This year I have 1 lighted pumpkin in my front window and that's all. Usually I decorate for fall/Thanksgiving and I don't want to do that either. I decided to give myself a break this year and only do Christmas. Sometimes you just need to take a break and not feel bad about it. I hope you do what's best for you and not what others expect from you.

QVC host David announced that they are planning on selling blow molds for the 2020 season! He couldn't say which ones or how many, but he did mention Noel candles as an example of a blow mold for those who don't know what it is. Christmas starts in July on QVC. I'll be watching for sure and keep you updated. I guess the blow mold tree they sold this year was a big success. :)

Today's Special Value on QVC is a Santa's Best Pixel Tree in 5ft and 7ft. The 5ft is $250 and the 7ft is $400, s&h on both is $10. It has 15 synchronized patterns, many colors and combinations for 43 different looks. It has a remote, timer and easy set up. Personally I think it's crazy expensive, but many of you guys who do this as a project know how much it costs to build and program something like this.

So beautiful.......looks like a rainbow on your walls!

Richard that looks awesome!

WOW!!!!! That is amazing

Big J, It just sold out about 5 min ago. I was trying to decide and poof...... it was gone.

It's Christmas in July on QVC and they are showing this blow mold tree which was modeled after the vintage ceramic lighted trees. It is 3 feet tall and 22 1/4 wide.

Thinking of you and praying for a full and swift recovery

This ad is great. Now I understand why the seller used "Welles" in the description. Also, I didn't know that those cardboard fireplaces were made back in the 60's.

Hey Big J, I'm good, just had to step away from blow molds for a while. I hope all is well with you too!

Very nice find. What will you do with all the green lamp posts?

'Simply having a wonderful Christmastime' by Paul McCartney makes me hurry to turn it off. Somehow it always comes on in the grocery store when I'm shopping and I wish I had ear plugs.

I really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for posting it here.

Hilda's blow mold repaints/repurposing is legendary!!! Did you see her Santa Christmas Train transformed into a Halloween Train? That one is my favorite. ..........here it is

Big J, Your home is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I don't know. If I can get there today I will look. Thanks Big J :)

My daughter sent me this picture from the Michael's store near us

I forgot to mention that the above reindeer is inflatable

QVC currently has a Kringle Express 12ft lit Reindeer for $89.90 on sale and I just checked and they are still in stock.

Fun, Thanks for posting

LOL!!!!!!......My state is the extreme opposite, it happens and the gov doesn't go!!!..;)))))

I'm in NY and our Walmart does not have any Christmas items yet.
