It was right in front of their LARGE window in the formal living room. I was so envious because we always had a "real" tree. When I think back now that white tree was really awful! <BR/><BR/>Someone I knew then had a cardboard fireplace but I can't remember who it was. <BR/><BR/>We had red stockings with our names glued on with gold sprinkles. That was about the extent of my mother's creativity. But I do remember it fondly. She wrote our names in cursive too which I always thought was a bit odd.Trailbosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560979016510119034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495665171407148682.post-6631281715737257992008-12-12T15:40:00.000-06:002008-12-12T15:40:00.000-06:00I sent you an email and it didn't bounce back, so ...I sent you an email and it didn't bounce back, so check your span/danger list whatever...it may have arrived!orenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616103982088424715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495665171407148682.post-30582901063837477872008-12-12T10:39:00.000-06:002008-12-12T10:39:00.000-06:00We had a cardboard box fireplace too!

All my friends had realy cute red stockings with the white fur/fuzz. <BR/><BR/>I would have LOVED a cardboard fireplace though!

Mom would bring it down from the attic and _unroll_ it in front of an alcove.

Each year they go back in the box and we try and use them again. TC made a lovely angel out of paper and tissues one year. It finally fell apart last year. How sad!<BR/><BR/>Can't say we've ever had a cardboard fireplace, its a bit hot down here at xmas time!<BR/><BR/>Those purple pretzel pants ARE cool!

You know, from the television show? Even as a small little girl, my look left something to be desired.<BR/><BR/>*Sigh*<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas!<BR/>Amy:)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05336144938479561819noreply@blogger.com
