Lost Christmas decorations

The key box with the ones we have used down the years with all the sentimental decorations. It was not with the boxes of lights. Not in the spare room, loft space, under the stairs cupboard. Nowhere. I recently was looking in the shed for something else and it wasn’t there. Help!

Tradition in this house to lose a box each year, I'm sure...

I lost a box this year, was positive I had another one but wasn't in the loft

I eventually looked under my bed and realised I had put the lights under there as some of vhts had gone rusty the year before

You need to ask St Anthony to intercede.

I asked St Amazon to help. Red baubles arriving tomorrow 😁

bizarrely the lights did not go missing so I have had to just order a few things eg angel. But I am so sad because this box had all the sentimental decorations from my childhood plus my children’s eg home made decorations. I remember thinking to take all the decorations I use in the tree and put them in one box together. And now they have gone. They wouldn’t have left the house. I can’t understand it.

I think we found it. We've lived in this house for 14 years. This year we brought down the decorations from the loft and as well as all our normal decorations there were three artificial trees, a string of plastic santa lights and a box of baubles including one that opened up and contained a brand new pair of earrings Xmas Confused

That is strange but sadly not ours. I am beginning to think I donated it by mistake because all the non sentimental decorations have gone as well. But I have no recollection of doing that!

Update. Found in a bag (not a box and not a bag I remember seeing) in the back of a wardrobe where I don’t normally put decorations.

Excellent! All of them ?

Stopsnowing · 17/12/2022 06:25

No. Just the key ones which I always put on the tree which have sentimental value. I must have separated them from the other generic ones which I still can’t find. I suspect I did donate those ones but I have absolutely no memory of it.
