I don't think we ever had one but some of my friend's families did and I thought they were so neat! I think we were so poor that we just had to go out in the woods on a friend's farm and cut down a small cedar tree each year. But that was always fun and smelled so good!<br /><br />Always enjoy reading about what you do!<br /><br />MarilynMarilyn in Mississippihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808156475777748077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084627553585504389.post-84684381536643773402012-12-11T09:48:06.842-08:002012-12-11T09:48:06.842-08:00Your tree is GORGEOUS!

We could only afford two dozen Christmas balls, and my husband brought home metal filings from work, which resembled spiral chains, to fill in the "holes." We were expecting our first child and would spend our evenings watching the color wheel change the colors on the tree. Thanks for the memories. <br /><br />Molly McGuireAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084627553585504389.post-84578192133408122712012-12-11T07:25:50.003-08:002012-12-11T07:25:50.003-08:00Actually, this was an EARLY birthday present :) M...Actually, this was an EARLY birthday present :) My birthday is on Christmas day, Bookie!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084627553585504389.post-89359871227597029612012-12-11T07:05:29.782-08:002012-12-11T07:05:29.782-08:00Interesting tree.
