The kissing angels were made by Aunt Joyce Williams. Pam Bigelow made the nativity scene, the reindeer, the peace blocks. Mom made the pine cone wreath and her Christmas stocking. I remember each of us making our own felt stockings one year. In 1978 I (Sharon Bigelow McNeal) painted the plate with the candle on it. If you know information about other items please add it in the comments.
I remember when we used to have the Christmas tree decorated in gold balls, garland, and lights. Mark Bigelow found a box of the gold balls while we were cleaning out Mom's house on Saturday, May 1, 2016. Brought back memories. It was a big change when Mom and Dad switched to a more traditional tree with multi-colored ornaments with candy canes and muli-colored lights.
Prior to using the gold "silk" ball ornaments and small white lights, Mom and Dad used to decorate the Christmas tree with multi-colored lights and silver icicles. Mom would spend hours putting on the icicles so they would look just right.
