Jazz,
I remember how glad I was when my Parents got an artificial Christams Tree, we had fresh cut trees from the farm and they were Cedar, not very pretty! My husband says they used to drill holes and add limbs to their trees.
I Still Love the bubble lights to this day! My nephew wanted the Alum. tree with the color wheel that his Great Grandmother had a few yrs ago, New to him!
I never liked the Grey tinsel what a mess, I think you covered the list pretty well!
Happy Holiday!

Jazz.. nice thoughts of Christmas past. Glad you posted to see what comes to mind from the "olden days."

Our windows in the living room with White Sheer Ruffled Cris-Cross Curtains with a Beautiful Red Velvet Poinsettia on the tieback each side.

Darlene... I remember how we had to buy 2 Christmas Trees and drill holes in the best looking one to fill in limbs and always having to tie it up so it wouldn't fall down...never would stand straight. Putting the Christmas Tree up on Christmas Eve.

Tin Ornaments..Glass Pinecone Ornaments..Beautful Old Glass Shaped Ornaments..Bottle Brush Trees...Flocked Christmas Santa Boots candy holder...and a Beautiful Ceramic Christmas Tree. When time to take the ornaments off they were stored in a large cardboard box. (very carefully)

There was always a Train Set put in the corner..my Dad built a platform and my Brother still has his Lionel Train Set all in their original boxes and still in working order.

Santa would bring the boys Tinker Toys..Lincoln Logs..Chemistry Sets..Erector Sets..and Cowboy Set too.
Of course us girls always wanted Doll Babies..I still have many of my Dolls...Bride Doll..Revlon Doll etc. and remember how they were placed in the Doll Baby Crib which I still have.

Most important of all the kids always believed in Santa and always went to see Santa at the department store (Santa was only at one store in the town and I still have the photo's of my Brother and me visiting Santa from way back when.

Most important we would always wish every one a Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holiday!

Bet you didn't expect me to rattle on and on...but it brought back many memories to me.

Hugs~ Joann
