Trim a Tree Day

Inside or Out


As I mentioned yesterday, we usually get a Christmas tree on the first weekend in December.

Trim a Tree Day is simply the day for trimming that tree.

Sometimes when we were kids, we trimmed the tree with individual strands of tinsel. I seem to remember that it took a long time to do. Makes sense.

We used to have large light bulb strings too. In series. And glass ornaments. Until the silky kind came into vogue.

We never had a flocked tree though.

Homemade ornaments became a thing somewhere along the way.

We have never owned a fake tree. We like the pine smell too much.

We did have a small, half-height tree a few years ago.

Merry Christmas.
