It's Christmas in July at Birdhouse Books

I love Christmas!  It's my favorite holiday, and always has been.  As a vintage store owner, I am always so happy when I find vintage Christmas items to share.  I know the happiness they evoke and the nostalgic memories they bring.

I'm having a big Christmas in July sale at my store, Birdhouse Books, through midnight on July 28th.  Everything Christmas related is 15% off.   You'll find my Christmas department here:  vintage Christmas at Birdhouse Books.

Here are a few of the goodies I have waiting under the aluminum Christmas tree -- right over there, by the color wheel and the felt elves:

Baby boomer vintage children's book, Feel Santa Claus's Beard:


The Christmas Story, a 1971 Little Golden Book illustrated by Eloise Wilkin:




Christmas at Home, a 1963 music book for children:  


1920's Christmas card with a flapper and dapper man celebrating the holidays:


1943 Christmas card featuring an angel carrying a candle (Rynart card):


Cute Carrington Christmas card (Mid-Century) with a little boy skiing:


You'll find lots more at my eBay Christmas page - hope you'll stop by!

Very nice Trish. I love all the old time Christmas things. I guess we can never really grow out of enjoying them....

Kat Simpson said...

I love vintage Christmas even more than the current one. The many memories of all the people I loved and shared special times with 50 or 60 years ago and are no longer here are stronger during Christmas. Thanks for bringing them back, Trish.
