Those vintage ceramic Christmas trees you kept might be worth money now

Ceramic Christmas trees were big in the 1960s and ‘70s. Now, those retro trees are making a comeback.

Vintage lifestyle expert Bob Richter told Today Home the trees spike in popularity every year around Christmas. They're small, no-fuss, easy Christmas decorations.

“People put them on top of the television, back when the TV was a piece of furniture,” Richter told Today.

Vintage Christmas trees have sold online for as little as $79 and as much as $649. The catch, Richter said, is you have to sell now as prices drop the rest of the year.
