My grandparent’s aluminum Christmas tree … sparkling with decades of happy Christmas memories.
Aluminum Christmas trees were popular in the U.S. in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, but lost popularity after “A Charlie Brown Christmas” aired in 1965 and they were touted as being symbolic of the commercialization of Christmas. But for many of us who grew up with them, they are cherished reminders of times past.

Good memories for sure. My parents still have their aluminum tree. They haven’t put it up for ages.
Maybe someday their tree can shine again : ) Merry Christmas, David!
Lovely!
Our best wishes for a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

Growing up as i did in an Italian neighborhood we ALL had these trees! Thanks for the nostalgia!!!
What a fun memory! Merry Christmas, Karen!
I bought one at a yard sale because it reminded me of Christmas past, and still holding on to it.
How fun! Merry Christmas!
