The Sputnik Christmas Tree was also my favorite tree of all times. As a child we would go to Chicago in the 60's for Christmas at my grandmothers. She lived on the 4th floor of a large apartment building and the building across the street was the image of the one she lived in. The family that lived on the 4th floor across the street from her had a colorful Sputnik Tree. I would hang my small head over the back of the couch in the dark looking out the large plate glass living room window for hours and watch that beautiful tree change colors. This has to be one of my best Christmas memories as a child. I am glad to know there are more Sputnik Tree lovers out there. - Sheila Johnson
