Vintage Christmas decor

SUMMARY:  Yes, I have always loved Christmas decorations. At some point, I started being very careful with them at a fairly young age.

Speaking of memories… Some of my Christmas decor dates wayyy a long time back. When I became old enough to prevent it from being destroyed by myself or anyone else, but not much more than that. (Kindergarten plus or minus a couple of years?)

• The light up flashing Christmas tree: One year I and my next two sisters down each received one.  Did my parents find ones several years later for my next two sisters? not sure. I should ask. I'm also not sure whether mine is the only one that survives and functions. Except it needs new batteries this year. I still have the original box! Except the top is missing.
• The little glittery building is, um,  thick paper Sprayed with some kind of texture? It's a commercial product with a hole in the back through which you could put a Christmas light to light it up. It's missing a something, but it is still a little house with little [faded] shrubs and snow. I have no record of the year or where it came from, but about the same general timeframe.
• Sadly, the caroling Christmas candle met my husky probably 20 years after I received it. At one point, I had also found a female version and then I found tiny male and female versions that matched them exactly. I would set them out in the living room maybe on the side table during Christmas.He's the only one that barely survived the unhappy husky. I don't think I'll put him out on display. But I can't bring myself to throw him out. Hear that, heirs? If he were whole, he would probably be worth a few dollars. But, oh well. Now he's just wax with tooth marks.

Do you have old ancient decorations that were yours that you treasure? I do also have some things of my mom's or my grandparents' now, but these started out as mine and so they are particularly precious.
