A month or so ago I found this silver aluminum Christmas tree at the swap meet. After dickering with the price, I paid my cash and off I went, the proud new owner of this cool vintage find. I was sooo happy! So, I put up the tree while Mr. R was at work and the kids were at school. They never help much anyways, so I just figured I'd take care of it. Well, they all
hate my tree! I was shocked! Ok, it's not in the best shape. It's got a wooden dowel for the trunk, not the original silver covered trunk. And it's got kind of a weird skinny shape to it, and the branches have definitely seen better days. But in it's own vintage way, it's got a lot of charm! My family wanted me to take it down, but luckily everybody was too busy this year to go get another tree. So it stayed!

I've had this one since I was a kid |
This is the first and probably the last Christmas with my vintage tree (sigh).
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
