🫧 THE SOUND OF CHRISTMAS, 1952

Bubble lights hit American trees in 1946 and sold by the millions almost overnight. A sealed glass tube of methylene chloride sits on a tiny bulb, the heat brings it to a boil, and the whole thing bubbles away all evening like something out of a chemistry set.

NOMA made the ones everybody remembers. Finding a full working strand today is a small miracle — the fluid leaks, the bulbs burn out, the bases crack.

There will be some on the tables November 14. Get there early if you want one.

📅 Saturday, November 14 | 8 AM – 3 PM
📍 Matawan Borough Hall & Gymnasium

🎟️ $5 donation at the door | 🅿️ Free parking | 🏠 All indoors

A gymnasium. Ten thousand square feet of it. Table after table after table, and on every one of them, Christmas the way it used to look.

Blow mold Santas with that soft orange glow. Boxes of Shiny Brite ornaments, still in the cardboard dividers. Ceramic trees with the little plastic bulbs. Bubble lights that actually bubble. Cardboard putz houses with cellophane windows. Aluminum trees. Knee-hugger elves. Nativities, tins, linens, and a thousand things you forgot existed until you saw one.

That’s Saturday, November 14, at Matawan Borough Hall & Gymnasium. 8 AM to 3 PM. $5 at the door, and every dollar goes to the Matawan Historical Society and Matawan Borough Recreation.
