The next year they put the same Christmas tree up in the lunchroom again. I still wanted one for our house. I remember I came home. We entered the house from the lower side of the house. (I'm guessing we had a big hole there in the front of the house.) When I entered the house, Mother said to Jeffery, "Don't let her see it!" Like it was a surprise.
Mother said, "It's the Christmas tree!" It was a real tree decorated with lights and items. It wasn't the aluminum tree. I got it on my mind it was never going to be. I was right!

PS: I remember sometime after that we went up to Joe's, their Christmas tree looked like a tree branch decorated. I said to myself, "At least our tree is better looking than theirs."

I really enjoyed as a child putting up the Christmas tree. Now as an adult I have the job of putting it up and taking it down and I dont know if my boys realize it is in the house or not.
We love you, Aunt Sherry! Merry Christmas!
XOXOXO
I remember the aluminum trees with the rotating light. They were the thing when we were kids. We always had a cedar that Dad chopped down in the woods somewhere. It had that strong cedar smell to it that bothered my allergies but I loved it.
Wow, Sherry your sure do have a good menory. I had fogotten all about that tree. I remember thinking it was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen in my life. Thanks for bringing back such a wonderful memory.
Love you sis.
