I do love it. The lights have different settings too. It's my favourite Christmas thing so 70s or not, it always comes out.

Lol was just describing 70s garlands to my DD as we were decorating the tree, and I said she should be grateful she's not up a ladder trying to arrange garlands to all be the same length.

Thanks for the update, it looks great.

Thanks Xmas Smile
Wrapping paper from eBay. Search vintage or retro Christmas wrapping paper. They have lots.

The Quality Street tin is the colour of Christmas as far as I'm concerned. My Christmas tree theme is All The Colours because it reminds me of that era Quality Street tin Smile

70sWitch That navity! Everyone had one!

Obviously there was still a hangover from the 60’s Christmas that seemed to involve guady paper Chinese lanterns on the ceiling between crepe garlands.
When did garlands go? There were metallic ones in 80’s and 90’s then ziltch.

The garlands seem to be back in style. Which made my life easier this year.

I just wanted to say thank you. I've loved both of your threads. You've made my "Christmas Past" come alive again. I wish you and yours a Very Merry (1970's) Christmas! Xmas Smile

Just checked the tesco website as I’ve not been in lately and it’s definitely on there so 🤞
