Xmas Tree Decorating Ideas From 1969

Christmas Tree (1969)

Here's some great examples of late '60s holiday decorating. All of these Christmas trees are from a 1969 issue of Better Homes & Gardens. I'm particularly fond of the white flocked trees. If you're looking for inspiration or ideas on how to give your own Christmas tree some swinging sixties flair these images might come in handy.

  1. Glad you like them! I love the fact that they're as bold & colorful as the decade that spawned them.

  2. Wow - I really love the flower one. I think it'd be strangely appropriate here in Australian, since Christmas is in summer. People do all the fake snow and snowmen over here, too, but it just doesn't sit right with me.

  3. The flower one is really neat and I love your idea Lazy Madonna. If I celebrated Xmas during the summer I'd probably do something similar as well.

  5. Isn't that one great? Very slick and very modern, but still extremely festive.

  6. I love the flower tree. My sister made a wreath with flowers like that in orange and yellow. It hung in our livingroom for years in the 60's. Thanks for the memory.

  7. It's a great idea for those who keep their tree all year round. I'm planning to that one of these years and decorate the tree for every holiday or season. For instance, I'll love the flower idea for Mother's Day or spring and summer theme.
