1960s aluminum Christmas tree and original box

We put up the Christmas tree last night. This is the aluminum tree my family used in the 1960s, after we'd moved to the States from Slovenia.

It's somewhat threadbare, so we hang as many ornaments on it as we can to cover up the sparse areas.

And this is the original box the tree came in.

All from my mother's basement.
