You see the shiny silver trees in the store? Thats what our family had every year when I was growing up. My parents had a light that shone on the tree and when it rotated the colors would change. That was our lights.
I remember as a pre-teenager wanting a real tree. So one year we got one. It was the most gorgeous tree I had ever seen! You know how Charlie Brown's Christmas tree is? Ours was just like that almost! But to us it was beautiful. Memories..........smile~

Each year my husband and I have the same argument: I want a real tree and he wants to go buy a fake tree. Each year I love the aroma of the fresh tree as we set it up in the stand. I take hours to put on the lights and place each ornament in a great place with my kids. Then we add the tinsel since that is a tradition from my childhood. The kids take turns watering the tree each day. We play the German "hide the pickle ornament" and the winner gets a small prize.
Inevitably, an argument ensues about the fallen needles on the floor after a few weeks. But it is so worth it to have that fresh tree!

Since I don't celebrate Christmas, I would donate this to someone who can really use it.

The looks of love, happiness and joy on the faces of my boys when seeing their first Christmas tree. This year I will experience the same with my first Grandson. Having been doing artifical for years because of all the work to get a fresh cut tree, but now thank you for the option of ordering on line....Wishing you and all Merry Christmas.

My favorite memory was a yearly event that I miss now that my daughters have moved out of town. Every year my daughters, mother-in-law(who is now deceased) and often their friends would spend the day baking cookies and fudge. We had such a blast!

My Grandmother had always told us as small children, if we were bad we would get lumps of coal in our stockings. My middle brother tryed his best to test this theroy repeatedly for several years without ever seeing any coal. However, 1 year just before Christmas, he decided he was going to be like an adult and smoked a pack of cigarettes(how he got them from my dad we do not know) he was so sick I think he thought he was gonna die and we made him clean up his mess. Somehow Grandma heard about it and acutally put the coal in his stocking. He thoughtSatna finally was really punishing him. This is one of my memories from things my brother use to do and he was always into trouble.

my favorite was when my dad came for Christmas and when I handed him his
stocking he said I never have had one before. He was 75 at the time. He grew up on a farm with 11 brothers and sister so I guess he did not have one.
It was nice to give him a surprise even if it was one for me too.

Our tradition was to decorate the tree on Christmas Eve. One year, by the time my father went out to get a tree the pickings were pretty slim. He brought back a tree with a very large bare spot on one side. My sisters and I weren't too happy with it. He solved the problem by drilling holes in the bare side of the tree and gluing in branches he had cut from bottom of the trunk (to fit the tree in the stand). When decorated, this was one of our most beautiful trees ever. (We said that every year about every tree.)

I remember Easter Brunch with my parents and I. I would always get a pretty dress, it was a great time to spend with those you love.

hi. christmas for me is about family. Four years ago my husband's mom passed away after a battle with kidney cancer. It was devastating for all of us.
She was my best friend. I miss her every day. Since then christmas does not
hold the same joy as it once did. My husband's father lives 6 house away from
us. He is now alone. I would love to play santa and show up on his door step
christmas eve...thanks for listening...C.

My favorite Christmas memory was last year. My boys had been "naughty" so we put coal in their stockings. They still had presents, but they really freaked out about the coal. They tried much harder to be good this year.

My favorite holiday memory was watching a group of people walking through a field of Christmas Trees with their picknic basket... camping out under their chosen holiday tree... in the middle of a North Eastern Blizzard! The party lasted most of the day with stories, squeals of laughter from the children and snow sparkling on the branches of all the trees. When they left late afternoon, you could feel the warmth of their celebration and knew their special tree was headed to a happy home, filled with all the joys Christmas brings.

Winning a tree would be a riot and they look great. Happy thanksgiving everyone. Lois

My favorite Xmas memory is finding a stuffed Eeyore under the tree from my husband after my childhood one was destroyed.

My Mom was Santa Claus. Seriously, the woman went crazy each Christmas season with decorating, gifts, and food - even the bathrooms were done up in seasonal splendor! One year when I was in my teens, my then boyfriend and I came home at a late hour on Christmas Eve/Christmas morning. There was my poor Mom still wrapping presents for my four younger siblings, my Dad and myself. The living room was already filled with glittering packages of all various shapes and sizes, but there was Mom - down to the basement to wrap, then hauling up all she could to put under the tree. She was exhausted and very reluctant to give up her traditional role. But we talked her into letting us help, and within just a few minutes, found her snoozing on the sofa. We covered her with a blanket and finished her Santa chores. A few hours later there was my family, excitedly gathered around, anxiously opening presents while the tree and decor sparkled. My Mom acknowledged her "helpers" with a sly smile, but the secret of that night was never revealed...till now. We miss you Mom, every day - but especially at Christmas.

When I think of Christmas, my mind goes back to the very early 70's, a little white church, the smell of several live Christmas trees, lights dimmed and I am standing on a church bench with many friends and in our white robes and our silver metallic coat hanger halo's singing silent night. mmmm..............................

My favorite Christmas memory was of my youngest son age 4 . He had gone under the tree and unwraped all his present's and had been playing with them. He wraped each and every one back up, as best a 4 your old could. I ask him what happen to the packages and he told me the cat had opened them, an he had wraped them back up. I miss him so much, he left us at age 14. Every memory is a good memory now. So cherrish each and every one.

This beautiful tree would be the focal point of a beautiful family celebration!

My most cherished memory was spending a white Christmas with my husband and children in a coastal town where snow is unheard of. We were so shocked that we all cast aside our gifts and made snow angels, threw snowballs at neighbors who we hadn't found time to meet or get to know, make snowmen for the first time in our lives. It was truly magical. When the snow began to melt, we cried because we knew that this would likely never occur again in our lifetimes. This memory is something I will cherish always. Coincidentally, it was the first Christmas that we decided not to go out of town to be with relatives. We wanted to spend time together at home for the first time so the kids could enjoy their gifts on Christmas day.

I have been blessed with 2 best Christmas memories: the first one being the first Christmas of my 11-month old quadruplets, who would turn one on New Year's Day 2000. Seeing my four little angels gaze at the tree, pulling ornaments off and playing with their stockings was priceless. At the time I was I was pregnant with my miracle baby girl who is my second most favorite first Christmas. The quads were almost two and she was 7 months old and just smiling and staring at the twinkling lights and her siblings Having my five children together, ripping colorful wrapping papers off the presents, Andy Williams singing carols in the background, it still makes me want to cry. And every Christmas in the last 11 years since I became a mother has been magical and a blessing to chesrish.
