How Do We Incorporate Video Game Into Our Christmas Decorating
I'm very blessed that I am able to celebrate each Christmas with the Christmas tree I grew up with. See, in 1978, my mom and grandfather went to Stein's Gardens and Gifts in Brookfield, Wi the day after Christmas to buy this tree. I've maintained it since I got it in the late '90s from my dad after my mom's passing and enjoyed sharing the story and legacy of this tree with my family and daughters. I know it's meant a lot to oldest daughter, and my youngest loves it too.
One of the things that my mom instructed in me is that each year we add ornaments to the tree, and the ornaments represent whatever we're doing that year. I have ornaments representing when I was playing trumpet, ornaments of my childhood dog Cinder, my adult dog Max, many Disney ornaments, and in recent years we've added video game themed ornaments. Let's take a look at some of my favorites on our tree.
Being a Nintendo family and fanboy, we of course have many Nintendo-themed ornaments. We have 8-bit Mario and Luigi ornaments that are super cool, but also super tiny. A few years ago I got a Mario coming out of a warp pipe, the Super NES musical ornament, Donkey Kong, and more. I don't know where it is right now but I also have the Sega Genesis ornament too.
We celebrate St Nick's on our house, and for those who don't know what St Nick's is, it started as a easy to celebrate a separate Saint Nicholas Day by putting their shoes out stockings outside their bedroom doors or hanging an empty stocking by the fireplace on the evening of 5 December where Saint Nicholas comes during the night. On the morning of 6 December, those people will find their shoes or stockings filled with gifts and sugary treats. Widespread adoption of the tradition has spread among the German, Polish, Belgian, and Dutch communities throughout the United States. Americans who celebrate Saint Nicholas Day generally also celebrate Christmas Day (25 December) as a separate holiday. Some of the traditions and rituals of Christmas, such as leaving out a shoe or stocking to be filled, are similar to the traditions of Saint Nicholas Day.
So you and your family have gaming ornaments? Do you celebrate St. Nick's? Let me know in the comments!
