Well it arrived today! I have to tell you I am soooooooooo thrilled and excited and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this so much! THIS really brings to home for me this year everything Christmas! I thank you so very much for doing this and I hope you continue to do so in the future! I opted for the real copy rather than PDF because I wanted to hold it in my hands and touch the pages and really sink my eyes and heart into it.....and wow does it meet ALL my expectations and then some! This is so beautifully done!

For years, Daddy and I would go out to the tree lots and search for the right tree. I believe that first tree cost $6. Can you even imagine that now?

"Icicle" tinsel placed a strand at a time. Those are memories from my childhood as well! What a happy time! Just this year, my mother and my mother-in-law both gave some of those old ornaments (and their boxes) to my daughter Kati who loves vintage things. She is thrilled to have these bits of family history!Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-76084760069368733212017-12-14T19:32:48.014-07:002017-12-14T19:32:48.014-07:00Those are very special memories.Those are very special memories.Ruth Hieberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260132564992492524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-76474253825565164912017-12-14T14:32:51.666-07:002017-12-14T14:32:51.666-07:00Oh what a fun post filled with great memories of y...Oh what a fun post filled with great memories of your childhood. My parents would not let us put up the tree until two weeks before Christmas which was a little bit sooner than what you were allowed to do. Talk about anticipation! The only thing different is we didn’t pull ours through the snow....It was usually purchased at our local fire department ...until we started getting artificial ones. Of course each tree was draped in those long silver icicles and bubble lights!
