My Dad was too busy trying to finish up the harvest before Christmas to worry about a tree. Mum and we girls did all that.

I always thought that....

....taking the ornaments off of the tree after it was all over was not nearly as much fun as putting them on.  And I usually left tinsel hanging on the tree.    One doesn't see near as much tinsel on Christmas trees now as they did back in my day.

We were mad once someone cut a tree that we had planted years ago. It was a dirty trick.

Too funny. Your pops sounds like a fun guy. As a kid, we always had an artificial tree. Once married and on my own, John and I followed that tradition until our girls were in grade school. Then we went out in the woods and cut down a tree. I felt bad about tossing the tree in the garbage once Christmas ended, so we returned to setting up artificial trees. If we had a larger property, I would purchase a potted pine tree and plant it after the holiday. 🎄
