Christmas at my grandparents’ houses always felt like a Hallmark movie but in the best way possible. Chestnuts were roasting over an open fire, and hot chocolate was always simmering on the stove. Kitschy reindeer pranced on tabletops, and ceramic Santas grinned ear to ear from their posts on fireplace mantels.

Style is always changing - whether you are throwing away your last year's sweater because it is hideous now or finding the home decor horrendous. On the other hand, something from twenty or so years ago is now comfortably back in fashion. And while in some instances trends change faster than seasons do, other times a vintage style might stay forever. Though you might've never thought about it, even Christmas trees aren't impervious to the trends around us.
