  17. This is just precious Elizabeth! Thanks for you visit to my blog and for the fun reminisce of Christmas's past! I have several 'old' ornaments that used to be hung on MY grandmother's tree and I put them on our tree every year! Such wonderful memories! YEP ... we had those big bulbs that used to get SO HOT ... I can't believe there weren't more fires because at that time we all had LIVE trees!!! Happy Holidays to you!!
