I don't have a tree. I don't have decorations. I usually get out a ceramic tree but this year have not. I recall us decorating the tree in that house Helen's lives in. We put icicles all over it and made the decorations. Momma did not keep anything from year to year. All decorations went out with the tree. Usually it was a big, big cedar as Daddy picked it...not Mom. The needles drove her crazy until Christmas came and it could be pulled outside. She liked the artificial trees much better. Granny Gaddy had a silver one. Mom would have really liked it as she would have thought no need for decorations. The picture is from Larry's Great Grandmother's cabin 1947. Sock hangs from the mantle and presents are wrapped just in tissue. The main gift was a big meal with family! We have gone gaudy in trying to be glorious.
