Charlie rides his bike by it. Also your dad would flock the tree with the vacuum also. Then they stopped selling the stuff. Probably was a fire or breathing hazard. When I was little for a while we had aluminum tree and we would put a light that circled around with red, green, blue Wish I had that light now.konahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15499983101942726020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-31815907681248437042010-12-01T21:18:29.912-06:002010-12-01T21:18:29.912-06:00Oh, yes - the Christmas tree farms in southern Cal...Oh, yes - the Christmas tree farms in southern California!

Also, my dad said the water helped the fake snow flocking stuff stick better.Amy Coffin, MLIShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612044786240692282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-45400350812464838932010-12-01T09:27:50.210-06:002010-12-01T09:27:50.210-06:00I really enjoyed the post!
