Christmas Trees Present And Past

FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS

WE WISH YOU 

We have a 7' Balsam Hill artificial tree and this is Bev seeing is there is a vacant branch on which she can hang yet another ornament. 

And now all done.

If we had a fire, it would look like this shot from the web.

It the 50's, our tree looked like this one from the web and my mom added the aluminum foil icicles one at a time then removed them one at a time for use the next year.  I even had an American Flyer train like this one that we put around the tree.

Then in the 60's we had one of these that came with a remote light with a rotating multicolored disk that caused the tree to change colors.  It looked similar to a rotating floor fan.

One of our favorite trees was this nine foot beauty (Norway Spruce) that we grew ourselves then cut when the Walker Kids were visiting from their Army stint in Korea.

Watching it be cut.

The next year, they couldn't understand why their dad wasn't taking them somewhere to cut the Christmas tree - maybe they will with their kids.

Ah, the many memories of Christmas' past and I've been blessed to have so many good ones.

Photos can be slightly enlarged by clicking on them and the blue words are links.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.
