Nothing received...but here are my "used" items:

  • 1950s aluminum Christmas tree with color wheel! From my MIL who dug it out of her attic when we bought a 1950s house.
  • I tuck the Christmas cards we receive into the frame of a huge 1960s dresser mirror (also courtesy of MIL) that now hangs above the mantle-less fireplace. The frame is loose enough that I can wedge cards between the mirror and the wood. Every now and then I think about getting a new mirror, but change my mind when I realize it takes years for the wood to shrink just enough to get the useful gap.
