🎄 Before we had Charlie Brown's Christmas tree...

... there was Dorothy Grant's. 

While it may look less-than-impressive compared to the lavish Christmas trees of today, the tiny tree was considered as lavish as they come when Dorothy received it as a gift in the 1920s.

❤️ How lovely are your branches... Dorothy cherished her tree so much that she kept it for 93 years – until she passed away at 101 in 2014. The decoration was then passed down to her daughter, who used the tree for nearly a decade before putting it up for auction this year.

• Auctioneers predicted the tree would go for anywhere between $75-100. They were shocked when it sold for more than $4,000.
