We also had one of those trees in the early 70's.  the ones with the 
silver stringly sort of branches right.  And here is the tacky kicker 
if ever there was one.  we had a light that sat under it and shined 
up on it that had a colored wheel that turned so the whole thing went 
from red to green to yellow to blue.  OMG.  how could anone have 
liked that?  but my mom did.  so it was our tree for a couple of 
years.  it was the same time that blacklights and fiber optic stuff 
was just starting to become the rage.  well black lights had been 
around but i also remember her having this round ball with little 
plastic threads sticking out.  when on the ends of the threads were 
lit up and would glow.  (my mom was only 17 yrs older than me so was 
pretty cool when I was younger.  She listened to rock music which my 
friends all though was so cool.now I am 43 and she is only 61 and we 
are the best of friends.  
sherry  I still have to laugh at some of her decorting choices 
though)
