Christmas in Iowa, 1959

Another family photo:
The Christmas tree from 1959. The Iowa years. The tree sure is short and squat. And I doubt Santa's going to be coming down the chimney now that the chimney is in the living room with a tree stuck on top of it.

Iowa, winter 1959: I remember Buddy Holly.

A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step

Very festive :-) And from outside the window, it would probably look like a full sized tree.

Kind of heavy on the tinsel, don't you think?
