My sister and I still laugh about our family’s artificial white Christmas tree, decorated every year with red ornaments. Here I am with my parents in 1969:

I remember my parents getting an fake Christmas tree about then and I honestly thought it was awful.
I have had a real tree since I been on my own.
Great take for theme and the season.
Mine up.

They still look pretty, but I never understood why anyone would buy a white christmas tree. Great photos and have a good weekend.

I remember those skirts! Your outfit really brings me back…awesome!
My grandmother only decorates with red and white too…I miss it
I like your ornaments — they’re just like mine!
Thanks for your visit to my post. Have a great week — and good luck at the new work place! I just started a new job a couple of weeks ago too — so I know how that feels!
Sabine’s last blog post..Goliaths, Davids & Blogger(s)
I just got rid of a ton of boxes of ornaments just like those, this last summer.
Love the pic. Classic!
Nice picture. It’s really fun to sit sometimes and enjoy your childhood snaps. It’s so good to meet those long lost memories again. And the best part is the white Christmas tree. I think the fashion has changed from then, now the Christmas tree is green in color ( Just Kidding )
I never knew there were white Christmas trees in the 60’s. Must have been a great time back then.
