All in the eye of the beholder. Our trees through history have looked a certain way, and then the trends would change, and then back again. I remember the aluminum trees--all shiny silver--not so very pretty, in my opinion. And then the flocked craze, which I think has died away--not sure. But a blue flocked Christmas tree never ever appealed to me. I do appreciate a beautiful tree, though. Thanks for the information and lesson.<br />And your book sounds perfect for the holidays.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-87509990061318298882014-12-22T09:47:39.471-06:002014-12-22T09:47:39.471-06:00Peggy, I love our Christmas tree tradition, introd...Peggy, I love our Christmas tree tradition, introduced to us by German immigrants. Thank goodness we don't still use candle, though. I'll bet a lot of fires resulted from that custom. Glad you made it to the US and became a Sweetheart of the West.Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.com
