a few years ago i see that some comapnies make chrsitmas tree with aluminu but now they have stop it does anyone of you know this why
I didn’t realize aluminum Christmas trees have been around for so long I thought Charlie Brown was satirizing the next level of Christmas commercialism trees so fake they’re metal and jingle when you hit them
Long before colorchanging LEDs, we had aluminum Christmas trees and we loved them Ours had a rotating base It looked a bit like this We would sit there for hours, watching it light up the room
Aluminum Christmas trees are a thing
I love my vintage aluminum tree
Come on, hipsters, bring it back
Every year, my mom and I would put up our aluminum tree and watch the Charlie Brown Christmas show It was a wonderful tradition We bought our Christmas tree at a church yard sale, and it even had a spinning color wheel
These devices caused accidental electric shocks when one of the small aluminum fingers accidentally touched the inner edge of some Christmas lights They also caused fires
Yes, I remember people had metal trees in their homes There were also white trees, illuminated by a rotating tricolor light I guess that seemed modern at the time
After years of collecting pine needles even freshly cut ones, my dad bought a retro aluminum tree with a light that changes color every few seconds It’s so cool
I only use organic Christmas trees
I misinterpreted the title “Polarity Drop” and started questioning the universe It’s time for dinner
When I was a teenager, we had an aluminum tree that no one cared about anymore It had a string of rotating lights that emitted green, blue, red, and yellow lights My mom would wrap gifts of various sizes green, blue, red, and yellow that we would bring down from the attic every year and put under the tree It was cute and very eBaylike
My grandmother put up artificial trees for years It was a huge task She always chose the largest tree that would fit in the house In the mid1950s, the family moved to the suburbs One Christmas Eve, one of the neighbor’s artificial trees caught fire, and if I recall correctly, at least one person died From then on, my family only used artificial trees We always chose the ones that most closely resembled the real ones Therefore, I never saw artificial trees as consumerism, but rather as a safety hazard Still, I understood the anticonsumerist message
I have to be honest Charlie Brown Christmas is, without a doubt, my favorite Christmas album I even like it more than Bing’s White Christmas Vince Gauraldi is a genius I even like the concept of the special It’s hard not to root for it, I guess Anticommercial and all But, wow, this special isn’t the most depressing thing I’ve ever seen It’s the killjoy of Christmas movies, perhaps surpassed only by the song from Christmas Shoes, which, while not a movie, is so absolutely unbearable that I’m putting it in the running The whole thing sucks The holidays can be stressful, man Your motherinlaw is ridiculous, and Uncle Larry keeps texting you to remind you that he likes that wine you can only get in Bolivia during eclipses You spent two weeks seasoning your turkey to perfection, even though you’re still going to overcook it Eight people you barely know crowd into your house, and the kid screamsand aren’t four of them too old to smell like poop so often And why the hell do we put ourselves through this year after year And finally, you sit in the living room drinking beer, then whiskey, then soda, then whiskey on the rocks, and finally whiskey straight You finally have a minute to breathe You turn on the old TV And Charlie’s getting ripped off by all the other jerks from the Peanuts animated series He says, “Guys, could this mean something to any of you today” And they say, “Man, it means something to us It means screw you” Too close to home, Charlie Too close Cheers to the holidays
