20 Retro Avon Decorations That Your Mom Still Puts Out Every Year
It's almost as if you can hear the jingle bells coming around the corner, because Christmas is sneaking up on us quicker than you realized. Celebrating Christmas when you were a kid was probably a lot less stressful than it is now. You didn't really have anything to think about, all you had to do was make your list for Santa and wait for Christmas morning.
Chances are you spent a lot of time looking at your family's Christmas decorations. Whether you were working on trimming the tree, or just hanging out with your parents while they baked cookies, the decorations were almost as important as the gifts themselves.
It seems like a lot of us had the same things in all of our houses! A lot of our moms would pick out their decorations from the Avon catalog, so everything seems super familiar. How many of these did your mom have in her house?
1. Every tree was covered in these
2. And these little angels

5. Who else remembers the feeling of these little velvety little guys
6. The little mouse characters were all over the place
7. There were a lot of them
8. If mice weren't for you they had these bears
9. Or little elves with Santa
10. There were whole collections

11 Things Every Kid Who Grew Up With A Horse Obsession Will Remember
It seems as though in every family there is someone who is obsessed with horses. I don't think that this is necessarily specific to the 80s or 90s, but it did seem to gain a little bit of mainstream attention. When I say obsessed, I don't mean the people who would ask for a pony once and then give up, I mean people like my sister who asked for a pony every year until she was old enough to make a presentation as to why she should have a horse. This is a real thing that happened... And it actually
