Family has been using the same real Christmas tree for 34 years

A California family has been rocking around the same Christmas tree for 34 years, and it's not fake.

The Scotch pine Christmas tree was just two feet tall when Gina and Joe Mistretta, of Irvine, purchased it back in 1983.

"We had no expectations that it would last year after year," she told Inside Edition.

To put things in perspective, the video for Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' premiered on MTV and Ronald Reagan was in his first term as president when the Mistrettas bought the tree. Watch the video above to see more.
