In 1979,the wife and I were setting up our 1st home. We both worked all the overtime we could in November to have extra money to buy Christmas decorations. I was making $4.34 an hour and the wife was making $2.90. Between the two of us we came up with an extra $30. The tree was $8 and the metal tree stand was 3.99. The rest went to lights, balls, top, bows, tinsel and a whole basket full of "this is so cute" crap. I opened one of the many totes we have now, full of Christmas decorations and on top was one of the boxes with our first ornaments in it. We went to Ernst Hardware store and payed $1.27 per box. All glass, made in the USA. Like it was yesterday. What was your first decorations?
