THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS TREES PAST

Today I’m sharing some reasons I LOVE Christmas trees. Actually, they are universally loved but I think I love them the most! Today I’m reminiscing about many of the trees in my life and sharing images of my favorite Christmas tree collection and how I decorate with them!

I hope you will read today’s post. I’m in a storytelling mood and have some funny, sentimental, and sweet stories about the most memorable Christmas trees in my life and the people and animals that went along with them!

And if you have a Christmas story I hope you will share it too!

    In our 45 years of marriage, we have had both real and artificial Christmas trees, but one stands out above all the rest. We had ridden a train to a cut-your-own-tree farm. We cut down our tree, and had it loaded. When we got home, we immediately put the tree up and decorated it. Well, both my husband and I are a bit allergic to real Christmas trees, but this one turned out to be extremely fragrant – so much so, that it was really bothering us. So, I immediately ordered a new artificial one. It arrived on Christmas Eve day, so we drug the real tree out to the sidewalk. We laughed just wondering what the neighbors were thinking, like ‘what the heck happened there’, lol!

    1. lol! I wonder too. Every Christmas I developed a horrible cough and a tight chest and even my doctor husband keep telling me I was allergic to the tree. I didn’t care. I loved our trees too much! Now we have a big flocked artificial tree and I feel fabulous at Christmastime. I have never met another person that is allergic to Christmas! Now I have!

  2. I loved my very first tree that we had when I got married. I had it for about 15 years. Literally, it was falling apart. The color codes on the branches were worn off and eventually the needles as well. I loved that the branches went all the way to the floor and it looks like the traditional shape of an evergreen tree. I’ve not seen another as perfect. I still miss it.

  3. Yvonne, so many memories here! I still have my father’s aluminum tree & the color wheel only it gets so hot & pieces fall off the branches when I look at the tree that I’m afraid to use it!
    We used to cut trees ? that magically grew on the way home!
    I made dough gingerbread bears for the tree ? that I decorated with the kids many years ago, still have & still use.
    The first year that all the kids were gone, I balled like a baby listening to Elvis’s Blue Xmas ?
    I just bought a new Bundt pan with some weight to it like that old time tinsel, bc I’m going to make your cranberry orange cake this week.
    Peace ??

    1. I love to hear how similar our stories are. You will love the bundt cake. xo

  4. My best Christmas tree story is my oldest daughter asking if I remember what we had on the tree for years growing up it was a santa on a skate board my girls got in the mail they were plastic and that’s 40 years ago so you know how that is….they even remember what part of the tree he would always be around the top……

    1. Thank you for sharing Eva! This just goes to show you how important even an ornament is to a child!
