Knowledge
As stated in our Bylaws:
"The purpose of The Golden Glow of Christmas Past® shall be to promote, develop, and stimulate interest in the historical and educational background of vintage and antique Christmas items and to arouse interest to the enjoyment of collecting and sharing information about Christmas memorabilia."
Education about vintage and antique Christmas is at the heart of everything that we do. Here on our website, members continually collect and share knowledge of vintage and antique Christmas ornaments, lights, and decorations, new research, collecting tips, services, news, and stories about fellow collectors.
