Holiday Sparkle


One of my favorite stores to window shop in for Christmas is ACC. They have wonderful Christmas displays and beautiful home furnishings. These Silver aluminum trees remind me of my grandmother and her old tree from the 60's. I hope your holidays are full of sparkle.

  1. Icy and frosty - that's how those trees look. They'd do just fine here in Winter Wonderland! :)

    The burning logs you saw on my blog are Swedish Burning Logs. EASY to make yourself and they burn for a couple hours. An idea for a Santa Fe BBQ? Have a great day, Randy!

  4. I can remember as a child seeing the aluminum (silver) trees and wishing that we had one... wonder if there are any of those trees still hanging around with the rotating color-changing spotlight?

    Thanks for that memory, Randy!

  9. Wait a minute! Old trees from the 60s? Good god, I am getting old. Our son was born in 1960! Yikes!

    I don't remember these kinds of trees but that could be simply that my mind is going...

    Merry Christmas, anyway!

  10. Those trees make me think of the 60's too. I have some distinct memories of when these trees became so popular with the revolving lights that made them change colors. My family never had one, but I remember seeing them in the windows of homes.

    You are correct on your comment on my site yesterday. That Santa was in the window of the Apple Store.

  14. I have pictures of one of those trees in my Grandparent's house. That is the great thing about pictues, they help you remember things that you might otherwise forget.
