About this time , familiar images were formed like the way the Christmas tree and presents look today, or stockings by the fireplace , and have been continuously exploited throughout time , the images acquiring an air of vintage . If initially the Christmas presents and Xmas tree were crafted around an image of comfort ,the mixture of tradition and nostalgia for older times creates a unique and very appealing look . Vintage now is identifiable not only with nostalgia and tradition but also with a certain feel of class and exquisite look , and during Christmas it can be fully exploited to create both an image of both tradition,coziness and be very stylish. Although the neoclassical look can lead to kitsch , if the materials are genuine , and most of the furniture or household items are old they rarely will lead down the path towards kitsch.
