Before visitors enter the Christmas room, they will pass a 7-foot tall vintage aluminum tree from the 1950s, early 60s. Unlike today’s artificial silver tinsel Christmas tree reproductions, this tree is made of real metal. It would have had a color wheel at the base which turned and the colors were green, gold, blue and red. As this wheel turned, it would light up the tree in 4 different colors.

Older people with special memories of Christmas past are not the only buyers interested though, a lot of younger people want mid-century modern, and for Christmas, they love vintage Christmas items from the 1960s and 70s.” Steven said. “The younger generation also like ornaments that are psychedelic and wild colors as well for their Christmas decor.
