Law...that could have been my mother's tree back in the day...and she made us put those stinkin' icicles on one.by.one! Don't even get me started on the angel hair. It's a wonder I'm not more throwed off than I am after all that asbestos exposure in the winter and DDT in the summer. Deb
I remember those damn stinkin icicles too! I absolutely HATED them. Me and my sister had to put them on the tree too. When my mom & dad weren't looking, each and every year, I would take a fist full of those horrific things and just pitch them on the tree. I got caught a few times, but it sure as hell beat hanging them one by one!
Girls, seems like we all had the same problem with mothers and the dreaded icicles! However, I must admit that I LOVE the look of the icicles...so vintage! I'm thinking that next year, I may buy icicles for Lurch to put on the tree...one strand at a time! That ought to keep him busy throughout the holiday! :)

Spaghetti on a Christmas tree sounds good to me, but I would like the meatballs too. I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteI hated those Icicles. They were tacky. Now blue flocked trees are more to my taste because I'm classy like that.
