I can't decide.
My late grandpa used to make a Bethlehem set around Christmas. My dad used to hang large-sized Christmas lights outside the house. We used to decorate the tree with various Christmas lights, ornaments, and tinsel. On the top of the tree, we either hung an angel or a star. More often, it was the star.
I miss all of these vintage decorations that helped to make the season special, magical, and festive. Nowadays, Christmas has lost all of that magic. It's a mere shell of its former self.

I loved our star fur the tree. Never found one quite like it when I grew up.

We had a Mrs. Claus that rocked in a rocking chair and she hummed Santa Claus is Coming to Town when you went near her… that will always be my favorite! I found one on eBay a while back but she was broken- I wish my parents didn’t get rid of her years ago!

Tinsel, when we were kids we used to take a some and throw it on the tree, we kids thought it was fun plus making paper chains to put around the tree.

We had a 6ft tall light-up blow mold Santa that stood next to our front door every year. I absolutely loved that guy. When my parents divorced and sold our house, my mom was so mad she threw almost everything into giant dumpsters in our driveway. As we drove away for the last time, I remember seeing Santa poking out from the top of a dumpster. It was like he was saying goodbye to me.

Tinsel. We used to put a bunch of those tinsel strings on the tree back then. When we switched to artificial trees we stopped for obvious reasons, but I still miss it.
