I bought my first Christmas tree over 20 years ago – it’s a 4′ pencil tree that is currently decorated and waitng for it’s timer to go off so it will light up my living room. I love my tree – this year it has 300 white lights (I’m a sucker for white lights), gold and white ribbon and gold bells. And of course my Santa and Mrs. Santa bells.
In college, my roommates and I made our Christmas tree one year – it was a huge paper cone we taped to the wall and decorated. I still laugh thinking about that “tree”!
The first tree at Rockefeller Center in New York was put up by construction workers in 1931 – and decorated with tin cans, paper garland and cranberries. Since then, the tree has gotten bigger but the tradition remains.
