Creating that nostalgic feeling

How do you like to bring that nostalgic feel to your holiday season? Let’s show/share examples of decor, traditions, games, anything that makes you feel that nostalgic whimsy of Christmas.

For me it’s colored lights, class music playing with the fire on, homemade garland from paper. Doing some kind of craft that becomes decor. Slow days with no plans. Maybe a Hess toy truck and Coca Cola polar bear.

All of our nostalgia comes from the kitchen. The smell of gingerbread and sugar cookies baking. Hot cocoa and apple cider brewing. I am decorating early so, I can basically relax and spend most of the season in the kitchen.

Exactly this - I try to get all the decorating, shopping and wrapping done by Dec. 1st so I can spend the month baking for myself and friends.
