Icicle Decorations Bring Back Memories of Christmas Past That Kids Just Don’t Understand

A couple of days ago, my son and I were walking down the Christmas decoration aisle at Walgreens, when I stopped in my tracks with tears in my eyes. There, in front of me, were silver ICICLES for the Christmas tree.

My son was like, "What are those?" "You actually used those to decorate your Christmas tree?" He then laughed. He couldn't IMAGINE using them. After I told him the story of putting them on the tree one at a time and then taking them off one at a time, he was really happy that our tree isn't covered in them. lol

I've never used them on my grown-up Christmas trees, but as a child, they were always a part of our Christmas tree decor.

Even though I cursed them under my breath as a child, as an adult, they bring tears to eyes and a warmth to my heart. :-)
