With time, some traditions evolve and some stay the same, while still keeping the holidays meaningful and the family together by looking forward to them every year, and as families get bigger, each generation brings something new.
Yet Baby Boomers continue to bring their own flare to the table, their own go-to decorations that bring them a sense of comfort and endless nostalgia, in a way they have carried with pride for decades.
Their style is all about colors, and details that shaped the holidays as they remember them, bringing that cozy feeling that makes it seem like you time traveled when you step in. Trends change, but the classics remain.
