Retro 80s Christmas Ornaments

Eighties Inspired Christmas Ornaments Are Awesome!

80s christmas ornamentsI love the 80s and the fact that you can now get 80s Christmas ornaments is in a word – awesome! The only problem is which one should you buy, I quite fancy the idea of decorating my entire Christmas tree with a totally 80s theme, but I think my 10 year old might not appreciate that idea!

Stuck in the 80s Christmas Ornament

If you know someone who’s ‘stuck in the 80s’ like I am then let me tell you an eighties Christmas ornament would be a really cool gift idea. I have been given so many 80s compilation cds over the years and although I appreciate every single one of them the majority have the same songs on them so a Christmas ornament (or two, or three!) would be appreciated a lot more by me and I’m sure I’m not alone!

What’s not to love about the 80s? I think these retro Christmas ornaments are awesome and will really make a statement on your Christmas tree because the 80s rock!

It was the technology of the 80s that saw some lucky homes get the first personal computer systems…….these were still a long way from what we use today and ran on cassette tapes which had to be turned over as well as floppy discs.

Then there were the retro video games that we all enjoyed like Pac Man and Space Invaders – celebrate the 80s silicone advancements with these retro Christmas Ornaments.

80s music rocked and still does, although it’s quite hard to define because of how diverse it was. Can you tell me what is 80s music? I doubt you’d manage to satisfy everyone with your answer unless you said it’s great!

These Christmas ornaments embrace 80s music from vinyl to cassette tapes and boom boxes ……

Reindeer Christmas Ornaments

Celebrate Christmas with Reindeer on Your Tree

reindeer christmas ornamnetReindeer and Christmas go hand in hand so why not add some reindeer ornaments to your Christmas tree? Without his team of reindeer how would Santa get around the world in one night to visit all of us and leave goodies wherever he goes?

Gingerbread And Candy Cane Reindeer Christmas Ornament

It doesn’t matter if you’re a fan of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer or one of his fellow team of Santa’s reindeers there’s got to be room on your tree for a reindeer or two.

I love this gingerbread and candy cane inspired reindeer myself as it looks really festive and the way he’s holding his front right leg he just has to be related to Prancer, don’t you think?

We always leave a carrot out for the reindeer along with water in case they’re thirsty from all of that flying, of course we just assume that Santa gives them the carrot as we leave him food and a drink as well. I suppose that Santa could be eating everything, but he wouldn’t do that would he?

On Christmas Eve before our daughter goes to bed she sprinkles reindeer dust on the front lawn so that the reindeer can see where to land. We don’t have chimneys for Santa to come down here you see, but he has a magic key that opens all of the houses in Queensland that don’t have chimneys which is why the reindeer have to negotiate lawns and driveways etc.

Do You Want To Know How To Make Reindeer Dust?

Reindeer dust lights the way for the reindeer to land on your lawn and also gives them something to munch on while Santa’s making his delivery. Mostly it’s about lighting their way though so don’t forget to leave out a carrot for them as well.

I was given a recipe a number of years ago, but I’ve changed it to a 50/50 mixture and it seems to work really well.

  • Glitter
  • Oatbran

You simply mix the glitter and oatbran together and sprinkle it on the lawn – the moonlight shines on the glitter and lights the reindeer’s way whereas the oatbran gives them something to eat.

As a side note I’ve used whole oats before, but have used a knife to chop them fine – it seems to work well. Any color glitter can be used so this is generally dd’s job to choose and she decided a couple of years ago that good old silver glitter (although not as pretty as purple) shines best under moonlight.

Buying the glitter and then making up reindeer dust is one of our special Christmas traditions that we do as a mother/daughter thing, even when we stayed at her Grandparents for Christmas she wanted us to make some and showed her cousins how we make sure Santa finds our house in Australia.

Which is Your Favorite Reindeer?

Cute (and Famous!) Reindeer Christmas Ornaments

There’s Rudolph who everyone can name, but then there’s the others if you can think of their names……….. okay I’ll help you out there’s Prancer, Dancer, Donner, Blitzen, Dasher, Vixen, Comet and Cupid too.

All of Santa’s reindeer have ornaments to celebrate them so you could hang all nine on the tree just to be fair if you wanted to, here’s an idea as to what that might look like –

Prancer Christmas Ornament Dancer Reindeer Custom Ornament Donner Reindeer Christmas T-shirts and Gifts Christmas Ornament Blitzen Reindeer Christmas Tshirts and Gifts Christmas Ornaments

Dasher Reindeer Personalized Ornament Vixen the Reindeer Christmas Keepsake Ornament Team Comet Christmas Reindeer Ornament Cupid Reindeer Christmas Tshirts and Gifts Christmas Ornaments

I think Rudolph must be everyone’s favourite, after all he’s even got his own song which is sung every year – you know the words, I be you’re singing it in your head right now, “Rudolph the red nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose………”

Keep Calm Christmas Ornaments

Decorate Your Tree with Iconic Keep Calm and Carry On Ornaments

keep calm and xmas onThe increasingly popular Keep Calm and Carry On posters are now available as Christmas ornaments and I’m sure that 2013 will see them adorning Christmas trees around the world – will yours be one of them?

Purchase this Keep Calm and Xmas On ornament here.

Keep Calm and Carry On posters have reached iconic status on a worldwide stage in recent years what appeals about their popularity is hard to determine, they appear to be in the vein of the British people’s reputation for maintaining a stiff upper lip and soldiering on with battles, but their past isn’t quite that straight forward.

The Keep Calm and Carry On posters were designed by the British government at the start of World War II, but were never used and were in fact supposed to be destroyed. When a couple of the posters were discovered they became icons of an era where the British maintained their calm personas in spite of losing family members, rationing and bombing. The posters were actually designed to be put up should the Nazi’s manage to invade England! You can find out much more about the history of the Keep Calm and Carry On posters at The Story Behind Keep Calm and Carry On

Meanwhile I not only love the Keep Calm and Carry On ornaments, but I have fallen in love with some of the parodies of the original Keep Calm such as Keep Calm and Eat Cupcakes which is why I think a tree decorated in these Christmas ornaments will look awesome. In my case I’m just buying one to add to my collection, but which one to choose….
