Making strings of Popcorn for the Christmas Tree

When I was growing up in Blackwell, Oklahoma, I remember making strings of popcorn to put on the Christmas Tree. Grandpa or Grandma would pop the corn. Grandma would take long red or green wool threads and thread needles. Then my three siblings and me would put the popcorn on the threads and make wreaths for the Christmas Tree.



While we were making the wreaths, Grandma would bake Christmas cookies and make us hot chocolate. After we finished making the popcorn wreaths, we put them on the Christmas tree. Next Grandpa would put on electric lights and light the tree. Once the tree was lit, then the rest of the lights were turned out and we sit in the living room watching the tree light blink on and off.
