    PS: the next time you make egg nog, temper your eggs before adding them to the pot so that you don’t have curdles. To do this, ladle a little milk at a time into your eggs and whip it with a whisk; do this three or four times until you have a smooth custard going, then whip it into your warm milk.

      Sale of lead tinsel was outlawed is the states in 1972. Probably banned in Canada and other places then too? If you are able to see old photos, it looked a little different because of the weight of the lead material made them hang straight down in a more dramatic way. Lovely, but not worth the danger. The other potentially dangerous Christmas decor was angel hair! Spun fiberglass in a package ready to spread around the house. So itchy if you got it on you, or forbid, in your eyes! Not as bad as lead poisoning, but not one of the vintage traditions I would want to bring back. They have non-glass based angel hair for "snow" now.

She would put slices of orange, lemon, lime, and grapefruit in the dehydrator and make the most colorful strands, along with dried cranberries, popcorn, and pine cones. I loved helping her decorate the tree. We kept it very simple, just the natural garland, some white lights, golden lacy bows of ribbon, and an angel on top.

    It’s so funny that so many of you wish to have lived in that time period. I’m old so let’s just get that out-of-the-way. I lived in that time and have wonderful memories. But ladies, you would not enjoy the day to day existence of a woman in the 50s. Most families had one car, if they even had a car. It wasn’t until people started moving out in the suburbs that they had a car. Up until then if you lived in the city as most people did on the east coast of America you took the trolley. My mother had a wringer washer. That meant that the cycle stopped before the spin and women had to manually put the clothes through the ringer and hand crank to get the excess moisture out before they hung the clothes on the clothesline. Nope, no dryer. You did the dishes in the sink, new dishwasher. And you cook dinner every single night. People didn’t go out to dinner or have fast food or carry out. You ate according to the seasons. Produce didn’t come in from other countries like it does now. Girls didn’t wear pants to school. It didn’t matter how cold it was you had your bear little legs exposed to the elements, unless you had a respite with kneesocks or a pair of tights. There weren’t consistent television shows. You may watch dingdong school and winky dink and the Arthur Godfrey show and then television with shut down until later in the afternoon and then again in the evening. Captain kangaroo and romper room weren’t even on the horizon. Women wore house stresses. People didn’t take showers every day. You didn’t wash your hair every day. Women would wash their hair once a week and have a day in pincurls..... That was usually a Friday so that their hair would look nice for the weekend. People didn’t have multiples of shoes and clothing. As kids you had school shoes, play shoes and a pair of church shoes. Ditto for mom. Compared to today it was a time of less but we never felt like we didn’t have. The quality of items surpasses anything you can buy today. My mother sewed so most of my clothing came from her singer treadle sewing machine. Stores were closed on Sundays, Saturday nights and we’re only open on Wednesday nights during the week. This 24 seven 365 existence we have today simply didn’t exist. Oh my gosh I’m making myself homesick. But I would still want my washer dryer and dishwasher.....oh....and AC!

    Beautiful.. you just need a tree skirt to cover your tree stand and you might find it easier to put on your tree lights first so that you can hide the light wires deeper in the tree branches & won't have to worry about the wires knocking or pushing into your ornaments as you're stringing the lights up. 🙂

  • @noreen4529
    @noreen4529 3 роки тому +2

We daredeviled and lived dangerously in the 80s and did clipped candles that we only lit once, but I really wouldn't recommend that today. It was the most beautiful tree we ever had.

    Since no one actually EATS candy canes... it makes sense to make candy canes out of red and white clay, and a lacquer finish to use again and again. Might be a fun, crafty video, too!

    Sage… Quick suggestion… your tree looks great by the way. But I’m surprised you don’t put your lights on first before the garland and the baubles. I have a good friend whose tree always looks great because she makes sure she puts lights not just on the ends of the branches but also in the center of the tree so that the interior of the tree is also illuminated. It takes a bit of extra time but it’s well worth it. Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁🎄

    We typically don't have White Christmases here in the southern US states, especially in Alabama where I live. It can get a bit chilly during the winter, but we rarely get snow. Mostly icy roads after a cold rain. Black ice is no fun especially at night. We make Christmas as fun as we can get it to be.

    We stayed in Australia for Christmas and New Year visiting our friends who emigrated to the Gold Coast. It was a surreal experience to have a BBQ by a lake, swimming, lolling about. I was surprised that turkey wasn’t featured much but gammon/ham was everywhere. We enjoyed our month stay and are going back next year. Now back to the video!

    Loved this video. Your over the door garland turned out cute. Loved the gold tree tinsel too. It is easier to put lights on first and hides the wires better. One more tip just because I’m a Capricorn and can’t help myself; is to cut ribbons at an angle or if straight edge do a v notch to give pretty tail. Keep up the great videos.

    Lovely Just Lovely!!.... There's a better way to do the eggnog pastuerizing part. You put some of the Hot Milk mixture gently to thebeaten eggs.... AS YOU WHISK IT.... It's called tempering the eggs... Then you pour the eggs into the warm milk mixture and whisk the entire time as the egg flows in a slim stream into the hot milk...... then it gets mixed and thickens and all that without separating and all that.
    It's the same method I use to make Tapioca and eggnog here in Northern Northern California.

      I loved the Cleavers as well. I learned later that the actress who played June wore the heels to add to her height to help the boys look younger than the actors that played them were. The pearl necklace was to hide a surgical scar on her neck. I think Sage got it right that a lady would change clothes for dinner but may have dressed differently while cleaning. The shoes they wore all day cleaning house were probably cute, but they also probably didn't have as much height to the heal as June Cleaver's did.

    Tinsel! my mom used to use it all the time when I was young, till one of my cats decided to eat it and ended up at the vet with a blockage. The cat was fine but that was the end of the tinsel. Mom would also spend a really long time picking all the tinsel off the tree after Christmas every year, before she shoved the tree back into the box. I would help with the removal of the stuff but get board pretty quickly. Your tree looks cute.
    You forgot the rum with the egg nog lol. Not really I actually rarely drink it with rum, but that was the only way my uncle would serve it even as a kid there would be a little splash (barley cover the bottom of the glass) that used to make me feel like an adult.
