Retro Modern
A nifty idea of a Christmas Party with retro stuff collections
Retailer find their ways to market products, they would come up with something new for attracting the customers. But this time round the year, the new is actually quite old. The retro –style is gaining popularity again. As rightly said history repeats itself. This flash back to the classics is not only evident in the home décor or in their wardrobes but is also as an interesting theme for the Christmas parties.
People get together for celebrating Christmas; this gives them the chance to be together at least towards that part of the year. People travel miles to reunite with their families and friend – just to celebrate Christmas. You can make this Christmas as special as you want however, incorporating the retro-style of celebrating Christmas might get some beautiful memories back. For the children in the family it would anyway be a new concept and for the elderly many memories would be touched. If you are one of them who are looking forward to have Christmas the Retro Style this year, the following suggestions would help you get back to the 50’s.
Retro – Christmas Lunch
Retro – Christmas Lunch is quite a traditional lunch. Turkey is served; pudding with custard as the topping; Mince pies. The entire family would dress up nicely and sit together for the retro- Christmas lunch. The table would be decorated with beautiful red candles as center piece. The family would sit around to enjoy the lunch with fresh juices or wine. There could be drinks that are especially retro styled – snow ball classic cocktails.
Retro- Styled Christmas decorations
The traditional Christmas Tree is the first choice, though you could go for the artificial tinsel trees if you want to avoid the pain of arranging for a real one. The artificial once could also be managed in retro – style from the 1960’s. Whichever tree that you chose could be decorated only with lights and the shiny balls. People at times also prefer to display there Christmas greeting cards as well. Shiny balls represent the 50s; 60 and 70s clearly. The use of baubles relatively reflects a more modern decoration style. Icicle and bauble with intended or crushed in look are the kinds available.
Retro- Styled Christmas Present
The type of presents presented in the 50’s; 60’s and 70’s would defiantly be different from what people would like to exchange as the Christmas gifts. However, the style of putting the gifts under the Christmas tree remains the same. The gifts would be placed under the Christmas tree by the elderly in the family as the children would run to the Christmas tree in the morning hoping that Santa would come and leave gifts for them under the tree. There are so many things that has changed since then, but thankfully some things are good when are unchanged.
As mentioned the retailers are trying to get the retro trend back, with the above suggestion try to have every thing around the Christmas party to be retro in the real sense of the word. For that matter you could have your home décor in the retro style for the year. So stop thinking and enjoy the beauty of good old times in this new modern era.
