The history of Modern Christmas Trees, a Colorado original.
unwrap this blast from the past about Modern Christmas Trees, first published in December 2020.
Stoecker was living in Boulder in 1966 when he got the idea to create a Christmas tree from cardboard rings attached to each other and hanging from the ceiling. No one in the family is exactly sure what sparked the idea, because Stoecker invented things all the time. “He was an engineer and worked for, which did projects for NASA,” explains Bliss. “After that, he started his own business building A-frame cabins throughout the Rocky Mountains. He was a guy who liked to make things.
During those four years, Bliss’s grandmother passed away, and Stoecker was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Bliss was devastated, and felt helpless as he watched his beloved grandfather slowly slipping away. He had his grandfather’s high school graduation picture tattooed on his arm. “I showed him, and he licked his thumb and tried to wipe it off,” remembers Bliss, laughing.He decided to honor his grandfather in a way that was equally permanent but easier to share.
. If anything, Stoecker’s death fueled his grandson’s ambition to make Modern Christmas Trees succeed, and his determination was validated when the original Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California, commissioned him to create trees for its annual Christmas display. “I made fifteen custom trees for them, and they’re part of the holiday display at the hotel every year,” says Bliss. “It was cool, because my grandfather passed away at the end of September 2012.
