Description
It was Christmas Eve 1959. I remember as a little girl, the tree was gigantic. The scent was overwhelming. The needles would tickle me like a porcupine. The tree had lights-lots of lights- large lights and lots of silver tinsel hanging from the limbs. The tinsel made the tree shine. There were large, brightly colored balls attached with big red ribbons. Large and small packages wrapped with gold and silver ribbons surrounded the tree.
