My dad always got too tall a tree for the 8' ceilings in our house. Instead of cutting off the bottom he'd cut the top. Many years looked like the tree had grown through the ceiling.
Those big electric lights, 7 watts each, got so hot we could only turn them on for a while for fear of catching the tree on fire. Icicles that my mother insisted on made out of some odd metal, probably tin. Yadkin
This explains a lot thank you.
