What is it about an old red truck
with a tree in the back
that just seems to conjure
warm, nostalgic memories of
warm, nostalgic memories of
good ol' Christmases past?
I googled "bringing home the tree" in images,
and a ton of pics popped up
of just such a scenario.
From photos to ornaments

It just proves that if you want to bring
a Christmas tree home the right way,
you're going to need an old red truck.

While I was Googling,
an image from eBay caught my eye,
and I clicked to investigate.
It was an old timey red pick up truck...
with a tree in the back.
The box revealed It was a
Christmas candy jar from...

I thought to myself ,
how handsome this would look
in the Ozark country Christmas
collection.
I placed a max bid of $17,
and won it at $10.95!
How cool is that?
I can imagine it looking right at home
next to the Spode
Train station cookie jar, in front of the
country Christmas picture!
I'll show more when it arrives!
Hope y'all are having a mighty fine
Christmas holiday season!
Update: Here's what it looks like!!!
Just perfect, don't you think?
