Now that was a real Christmas🎄🎄

Oh yes,with the bubble lights,and as a child,I thought they were magnificent.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TH ONLY THING MISSING IN THIS PHOTO IS MY MOM!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️

Yes, I remember our tree looked very similar to this one. And yes, we put the tinsel on one at a time. Good memories.

Oh yes went to my grandfathers and cut down tree every year and helped drag it out of the woods

The smell of the pine was wonderful and the time was sweet no locked doors and you knew your neighbors 🌲🌲🌲🌲

We always had to put the tinsel on one at a time lol 😂😍

I loved the real tree smell. Stringing popcorn, cranberrys

Ours used to look exactly like that!! All that tinsel hanging from the branches that was put on so carefully and then saved for the following years tree!

Our trees looked like this for many, many years. We put the icicles on one at a time. Had special cardboard to put them on when we took them off, one at a time.The trees were beautiful. Miss those days.

Just read a few comments. Seems we all grew up in the 60s w cheap parents lol. Runnin theme is recycled tinsel lol. Ahhh the memories.

We had one just like that,,and it was beautiful with that hanging tinsel and large Christmas bulbs,

Me who remembers the aluminum tree and you would have a color wheel that would turn and change the tree colors did anybody ever have that aluminum tree it was so ugly i will never forget that thing in the 60’s

I do and I still decorate my tree like this.

Still decorate mine traditionally, can’t be doing with co-ordinated trimmings and matching parcels.

Tinsel was heavier back in the 50’s & 60’s. It swayed as you passed by the tree. Not as flimsy or folded/wrinkled as the tinsel of today.

Take off the lights and this was our tree. We didn’t have electricity until 1947.

For sure. And all of the tinsel had to be placed “just so” for the right effect. Used to save my tinsel and reuse the next year and the next.

Loved them. I alway wanted to toss the tinsel and let it fall where it may. But my mother insisted on meticulous placing of strands. We had 12 ft ceilings in our house but my dad still picked a tree just a few inches too high and had to cut the top off. Happy memories.

Yes, these were the best. Artificial ones don’t really even feel like Christmas!

Putting tinsel on the tree was very therapeutic. The more the better. The tree sparkled and shimmered.

Decorations by children and Christmas is for children and family. String the popcorn….

I sure remember and all of the fun we had putting the tinsel on….stepping back and looking to see where it needed more.

We loved ours and put the tinsel on one strand at a time. It always looked so beautiful when it was finished

And that metal tinsel would flutter as you walked by the tree.

We started out with trees like this – then my Mom went all Martha Stewart before Martha Steewart.

Got my tinsel ready for when my fur babies are gone. Getting old and won’t be getting anymore. They eat it…..

My mother loved to decorate for Christmas.

you can not beat them all the family were involved in dressing them up good days but sad days as they have gone

I still tend to do this to my tree. Love tradition.

Mines a lot like that now, don’t do designer colour co-ordinated tree

I remember when we had real, live, fire candles on the ornaments, truth!

I do. I loved them. My childhood had these every year.

With bulbs so hot they could set your tree on fire.

I miss trees that look like this.

My parents always had one like this.

I do one strip of tinsel at a time those were the days you could afford a real tree?

They were always so beautiful

It looks just like the one that fell over, which happened quite often.

Have up.One simpler with Christmas city beside it guess I am old tradition granny

LOVE THOSE TREES AND DECORATIONS
