In 1966 I had graduated from College in Seattle and was in my first teaching job. Of course I drove home to Oregon for Christmas. It must have taken you hours to place all of that tinsel on the tree so perfectly. Great pic of the three of you. Memories.
I just love that picture. And I love trees with tinsel....don't see that much anymore. Wishing you and far guy and your family a wonderful Christmas! We travel tomorrow to our daughter's in Madison...praying for good roads, going and coming home on Friday. Take good care you two. Merry Christmas!
Beautiful photo... and wonderful memories. We also had a lot of tinsel on our Christmas tree in the living room back then; it was probably because the trees weren't as beautiful as they are today... We're decorating our tree in the living room right now so it can shine brightly tonight for Christmas Eve. Of course, all the Advent decorations—stars, lights, pyramid, nutcracker, Advent wreath—will stay up... I'm so happy... Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart. Viola

I remember what it was like to put tinsel on the tree. HaVen't done that in years. Nice picure!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo! I remember the tinsel - my siblings would toss it on, while I put it on the tree strand by strand...as my mom preferred.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute photo! And the wall paper and tinsel - could have been taken at my childhood home. Except our wallpaper looked like huge cabbages.
ReplyDeleteThe tree is filled with nostalgia for me. You are beautiful. No wonder FG fell for you.
ReplyDeleteIn 1966 we dressed up for Christmas day as if it was Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThis is fun---looking back through time

I do love and enjoy your old pictures! That's so funny about the tinsel. We did put it on thick back then. Merry Christmas to you and Far Guy!
ReplyDeleteLD, What a great shot. I do sort of remember 11966. You all looked pretty happy with the tinsel tree.
