My Grandma Elsie kept her Christmas tree out on the front porch where it was cool and the tree would last longer. Covered with tinsel and big electric lights and glass balls, it was where she piled all of the presents for us Hayes cousins.
We kicked off our boots on the way into her house for our annual cousin gathering and enjoyed a meal and opened presents. Her tree has a vintage flavor, thanks to the tinsel, but I remember it as a wonderful front door greeting when we visited her house at Christmas time.
