Why do Americans still have christmas trees from the 80s...

In some cases it might be about culture, and then there are other cases where people just don't give a dang about when is in and what is out. Some people are going to do what they like, regardless.

A Danish Christmas tree has a lot of red and white on it (Danish flags, woven heart baskets) but we have a lot of other decoorations in ALL COLOURS including huge balls and coloured lights. It's been that way all along, before and after the 80s.

We, my daughter and I, went out shopping last month, to Walmart and we saw the cutest
tree ever. It is all white and only 4 feet tall, which is perfect for us, the size, and
dressed all up with just clear lites. It was perfect for us so we bought it although
we didn't really need a new one. It was a really good price so we couldn't turn it
down.

We decorated it with silver and blue bulbs and didn't put any tinsel on it because it
didn't need more decorations than that. Tinsel only makes a mess anyways so we didn't
bother with it. My tree looks quite elegant with just the few different colors on it.

Here is a picture of my livingroom where I have the tree sitting on the coffee table in
the middle. I don't have a picture of the tree because my camera just broke and I need
to go buy a new one, hoping to get a new one for christmas, so I have been putting it
off. So you can imagine how it looks with the tree in the middle of my room. It looks
good.

Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend,
Have a good day, Chris


Have a good day, Chris

i donot appreciate all what my forefathers did.i would go for some silver-coloured balls(i mean those decorative balls,huh) and some silver wrappers.if my children could have their way,they would put anything and everything on the tree.and yes,i would like a star at the top.(silver-coloured)

Do you consider multi coloured decorations too 1980s or am a just a cheeky b!tch?
YES!!!

A bit cheeky maybe? lol you are entitled to your opinion. I tossed my green tree last year and bought a red and silver tree. It reminds me of when I was a kid and I think that is a lot of what Christmas is about!

I guess those Christmas trees have memories attached to them, that's why they keep the old ones around. Plus, those things are not cheap, unless you buy a tree that goes back into the woods after you've unwrapped all the gifts. Our tree is fake, green and decorated with some decent ornaments.

Loud, I have decoration dating back to when we got married in 1968, so I guess that I am farther behind than the 80's.. I like tradition and my tree is usually very colorful and it is actually beautiful.. I do like the small clear lights but I do have to put the styrofoam concoction that my son made in kindergarten somewhere on the tree each year.. Also the crocheted angels from my cousin, the crocheted bells from another cousin, the knit ornament from a friend at work, the ornaments that I made in my crafting period, the handmade ornaments from friends and family, the ornaments with family pictures in them, and every ornament that my son and his friends made from the time they were old enough to make them until they got too old to make them.. Red, Blue, Green and Yellow, silver, gold, and every color under the sun that reminds me of Christmas.. I like them all, no one color trees for me.. It is called tradition and yes, you are "cheeky", but Merry Christmas to you anyway..

I may have to think about it for awhile before replacing my handmade Santa and Mrs. Clause for a man wearing nout but ..silky black tight fittin boxers, although it doesn't sound bad..

I am a huge fan of fibre optics, I absolutely love them they are so pretty and such a lot less hassle. I am one for an easy life me, the easier the better in my opinion, fibre optics just make life easy!

Well it's better than nothing, isn't it? I would rather have a decorative multicolored 1980s Christmas trees (maybe in your definition) rather than just having nothing.

I don't consider them 1980's i like multi colours. I like the solid colours as well but to be honest...i like variety on my tree. My favourites on my tree are the antique glass balls of various colours...the mice my mom painted on her tree, and my little pine cones i picked and made into ornaments (yes real ones).

I included a pic it needs more lights and i need to get a chair to finish putting up the star...i have a porecelain angel for the top but she tips over the tree.
