We had one. A silver tree with purple ornaments and the color wheel.
The cats loved the tree when we would turn it on to rotate. You could always tell which ornaments went on the bottom, they were all shredded.
We always had a real tree along with the lovely aluminum tree. For some reason the real tree went in the basement and was the kids tree. Which was fine with me.
We had a little aluminum "half-tree" - about 2 ft. tall that mounted on the door or a wall. I think my mom put it on the door about once, but it was a bother because it stuck out so far and poked people. We may still have that little POS packed away in some boxes in that garage! Now you have me curious!
When we moved to Glenwood Springs, we inheirited the short, silver tree from my grandma...who used to live in the place we moved to. Never had the color wheel...that was too gaudy for my very, very, very conservative Grandma...but we did have blue balls and blue bells to put on it.
We never had anything like that at all, my parents weren't into a lot of lights either (we made a roof-sized star with 5 nails and 4 strings of lights and that was it). My brother and I each had our own 4ft artificial trees for our own rooms on which we hung ornaments that we made in school or at home. I put cotton batting and a miniature village beneath mine - Santa only brought presents to the big tree in the living room so I didn't need to leave room for anything. It was nice falling asleep to the multicolored mini lights every night.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
