My name is John. I grew up in the 70s but

my childhood memories are still alive. The most pleasant of them is the family

Christmas tree. Besides my mum and dad, there were five children in the family.

It was a wonderful time for me as dad took us for a trip to the winter forest.

The experience was special as only boys were allowed to go to the countryside

to pick out the tree. I don’t remember how we got that large tree through the

door, but it was always right. Then dad got the tree to stand up and we could

start the decorating.

All the family took part as mum gave

everyone a task. I had to pass the decorations. Dad had one more special job

that day. Mum took her favourite ornament, a lighted

angel, which she had got as a present from her family. Dad climbed up the

ladder and fixed the angel at the top of the Christmas tree. When I looked at

the angel, I thought Santa was close to my house.

The last few years we lived in that house

the trips to the forest with dad ceased. We bought an artificial tree instead.

He felt disappointed because his mother didn’t give him a special task.

He was tired of decorating the Christmas tree.

He was astonished because getting the Christmas tree was like a small adventure.
