Bow Trim
Christmas decorations in pre baby boomers years were mostly home made; paper chains and prickly holly wreaths the mailman complained about as he tried to squeeze Christmas cards through the letter box, getting skewered on the holly in the process!
Christmas stockings pinned to the mantel were actual old stockings, washed and patched and pressed into Christmas service; childish drawings were used for Christmas cards and sprinkled with glitter which spread all over the house each time an open door or window created a breeze! Our modern day decorations are sophisticated and undeniably gorgeous.
Those of us who aspire to discreet Christmas decorations are at variance with the ‘Christmas tackiness brigade’ and the clash of interests can be interesting at this time of year, according to psychological articles.
Some people have a flair for decorating their home at Christmas time. There is no doubt about it that some baby boomers have perfected the art of classy Christmas adornment. The door wreath is perfect and fragrant with just the right amount of color; the staircase is decked with evergreen and color matched bouquets to compliment the décor; the tree is correctly balanced with fat bows of wide Christmas ribbon, wired to produce the best effect and stay in shape; the Christmas lights are the tiniest and brightest, winking cosily in the firelight. No trace of tat! No angel hair drunkenly wafting around the sitting room – no red or green foil hanging lanterns!
Other baby boomers have a different agenda when it comes to Christmas cheer. They deliberately seek out the worst possible clashing colors and Christmas novelties to deck the house with the noisiest and most intrusive crackerjack pendants; red and white painted Santa faces; spray on snow that adheres to the windows and won’t come off no matter how you scrape and rub; racing roof lights that make the house resemble a highway truck stop diner.
The worst possible tacky Christmas decoration must be the blow up plastic flashing Santa; the bouncing red and white clad effigy of Father Christmas, usually super sized, crawling up the side of the house or positioned to look as if he is about to abseil down the chimney. He is large; he is garish; he is ugly; he has no trace of good taste about his person; he is irresistible to baby boomers on a mission to destroy every vestige of good taste in Christmas decoration!!
Psychological articles claim that people with a conflict of taste, not only in décor but also in Christmas trimmings, clash horribly at this time of year and fail to agree on just about every aspect of Christmas, from the size of the tree to the colour of the candles on the table!
If you live in a house with a tasteless tat magnet, try to exercise a little tolerant diplomacy this year – even flashing Santas need love!
