Thank you. You brought a tear to my eye. I remember going to our Woolworths with my Mom in the late 50s. My most vivid memory of it was that it had a big shiny metal streamlined escalator in the middle of the store. As a child I was fascinated by this-who new moving stairs! And better yet along one side of it was a soda fountain. Mom would order a banana split which was bigger than my head. She would boost me up to the swivel stool and we both eat the ice cream. I would get full first and she would let me ride up and down the escalator until I was tired while she finished. Happy days!

Thank you so much for this! I have always been a big fan of you and your videos. We Baby Boomers appreciate that you took your time and didn't rush through each room. That allows us time to linger on all the magnificence that we remember from childhood. I had visited this museum years ago when it was still in Paradise, PA but the new location seems to have many new displays. And all of them are just fabulous! So grateful that all this nostalgia has been saved and preserved! Special thanks to all the collectors who have donated objects for us to see. Hope you had fun there!

I love this so much! This brings back so many wonderful Christmas memories. I even spotted my old tin dollhouse under a display table. I definitely will need to visit this place in person one day. Thank you so much for sharing this! I look forward to each video you put out. You bring so much inspiration to the home gardener. In fact, after watching your Amaryllis videos, I now have 4 of them growing on my counter. So fun to have something growing and blooming in winter! Can you please tell me the playlist you use It's very festive. Merry Christmas!

Thanks for a wonderful tour of the shops: ) How wonderful to have been a kid in those times: ) That big German tin box at 29: 26 with the painted city view on it for lebkuchen' is something I see regularly at the flee-markets and second-hand shops here in Germany. The tin mini sewing-machine you can still buy at Ali express. They still produce a lot of the old tin toys from the past in China and they are not expensive at all. I have seen them at German Christmas markets as well. I especially liked the carton packaging design of the toys.

I had forgotten the light reflectors. Made the lights brighter and so festive. I am in my 7th decade and remember many items. I have some of my mother’s mercury glass and soft plastic ornaments and decorations. I am using them on my tree this year in remembrance of her. Her tree was always festive and bright with 7 children we were a combo of chaos and joy on Christmas morning. I miss her and dad and my two brothers who are no longer here but rejoice in all the wonderful family memories. Thank you for this post of this collection.

This must've taken sooooo much work to find all of this and display it! Very impressive! I'm probably the only one, but since I was a kid in the 70s and didn't grow up with most of this, my eye was caught by the BRACH'S sign and longed for my favorite BRACH'S candies that've been discontinued: Jelly Nougats, Sundae Neapolitans, and Royals. All of them should be sold now and would make wonderful Christmas candies- is anyone else out there longing for them and agree

What a lot of vintage treasures! Thank you so much, I loved this tour and I love all things vintage. I decorated my Christmas tree with all vintage Christmas ornaments this year, many of them old Shiny Brite glass balls. I even got some lead tinsel to put on it, memories of childhood in the 50s and 60s.

In the immortal words of, Mr. Bob Hope,
Thanks for the memories.
I had fun just finding the decorations we had when I was a little kid and believe me I found every one of them, including my red fire engine truck. I wish I could go there and buy it.
Where is this museum of Christmas memories

Oh my goodness! That is some collection! So many things I remember as a child in the 1960s. Nobody threw away things so all of these decorations were used well into the 1970s. Thank you so much for bringing back such great memories. I still don't like the candy shaped like raspberries though. Yuck!

Wow a trip down memory lane. My old stomping grounds and times were good at Woolworth! Icicles for trees 15 cents! I’m 80 and boy this was fun to watch, Danielle. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Hope Gracie and Rocky get lots from Santa

Hi Danielle a beautiful remembrance of Christmas past decorations. Christmas decorations have evolved immensely but there's something about those old traditional ornaments that brings you right back to Christmas morning when you were a kid! Thanks for the memories

How I'd love to step back in time. I still have some of these decorations passed down from my mom and grandmother. And though they were not pricey collectibles I cherish them more then the more expensive pieces picked up through the years.

Amazing! Some of the items I have from my old relatives. The Silver bells, the plastic bells, Santa plates. I have fixed and embellished them. Treasurers from my family. How did you get and display all this stuff

I loved that store. My granny took me to lunch at the one in Napa California. We sat at the counter and it was so decorated at Christmas. Thanks for bringing back those memories. Merry Christmas
