Ancestors' Advent Calendar: Dec 5th: Hang Apples from Your Christmas Tree!

'For a big tree, red apples tied on with bright ribbons, gilded nuts, bags of sweets, chocolate animals in silver paper, lengths of tinsel and crackers, all add to the decorative effect at small cost.'
Lancashire Evening Post, December 22nd 1938
