We had a live Christmas tree every year during this decade. It was so much fun going to pick out one.

O Christmas Tree- 1969 and 1970s

 I thought that we had more photos of just the tree from the 1970s but it turns out that we didn't. We started getting a live tree in 1978 which is earlier than I remembered. I had thought that it was 1979. We don't really have any good photos of the tree from 1970-1973. We don't have any Christmas photos from 1975 which is disappointing.

1974

The tree looks different in the first photo than in the other 2- like there is tinsel as well as garland on it. I know for sure that it is the right year; maybe we took the tinsel off. It would be kind of unusual to have both things on a tree, right?

I didn't have any photos from this year until I came across some Polaroids in a box of Dad's photos

Grandma, Mark, and me. I wish that this photo hadn't been cut.

Tree- Then and Now

 This is the tree in our back yard as it was around Christmas time of 1993 and presently- last month. My mother had cut some of the branches off of the bottom in the late 90s and recently my brother cut off some more.
