The idea is to outfit your Christmas decorations with only antiques.  Meaning only antique Christmas Lights to be hung on the tree and only antique Christmas cards can be sent out to family and friends.  Also, don't forget that only antique ornaments can be used on the Christmas tree.

Taking this a step further to make it a modern free holiday, only exchange antique Christmas gifts.  This doesn't necessarily mean you have to search out expensive authentic antiques.  There are plenty of antique Christmas gifts that can be made right at home, thus saving you a lot of money.

So, start planning your modern free Christmas now and watch your savings grow.  Everyone will remember the antique Christmas at your house.

Special vintage Christmas events included Music Hall tours and Christmas musicals.  On December 20th the town had a Christmas Trolley which would take patrons on a 15 minute ride through Christmas decorations and carolers on display.  And on Christmas day, Portsmouth hosted a brunch at the Wentworth By The Sea Hotel and Spa in New Castle.  Lastly, the town was invited to a vinate Christmas dinner on Christmas Evening.
