The tree and I are of similar vintage: 1961 is the year I was born, too, though methinks the tree has probably aged better... I remember that thing, sitting on the marble table in the living room. I don't recall that we had a tree skirt for it, but I think deep blue velvet (or perhaps emerald) would be gorgeous. Oh, WE had a tree almost exactly like that when I was a kid.

When I was growing up we always had the same, white tree. I know it's utterly unrealistic but I got rather fond of it... What a lovely post, thank you for that.
