Our tree has Shiny Brites and angels. When my Grandma Dykstra died and Grandpa remarried, he got rid of some things. At his new home with Grandma Jo there was a table of things that anyone could have. I took what some considered to be junk. I took the bare butt angels that Grandma had on her Christmas tree. They came from Newberry's and were still in their original box. They started to disintegrate and one Sunday I saw replicas in the fliers. I ordered them to keep my collection going.
I love them because first of all they remind me of Christmas on the Wiser Lake Road farm, secondly, they are sweet and thirdly, they glow. So, you turn off your lights for the night and you can still see the bb angels.
I wanted to share this with my readers and thought I would google 'glow in the dark cherubs' as they are called on their box (the new one), so if you wanted your very own I could give you the information. You can find them on ebay, etsy and antique sites, although the ones they are selling on the antique sites are not the antiques. I know, because they look just like my replacement set.
They also showed up as 'Mutant Zombie Cherubs' on google and Flickr.
You can get your very own on ebay and call them what you'd like. They will always be the 'bare bum angels' to me. Butt, whatever.
