Another favorite Xmas memory as a child.
My Mom used to decorate the mantle of the fireplace (1960s California ranch house) all the way across, very kitschy cottonwool snow, little people, trees, Santas, reindeer, elves, the whole shebang. The lighted houses and chapel were endlessly fascinating for me.
My sister kept all of it and continued the tradition for years.
