Today’s header: the joys and tears of tinsel! >>

My mom loved tinsel! She placed careful strands dripping down the branches and I loved the sparkle. Me and my brother weren’t much help, we tended to “fling” rather then “place”. At the end of the season mom carefully removed each strand, wound it around a piece of cardboard and reused it the next Christmas. I have my mom’s old lead tinsel! (A million times better then today’s cheap Mylar) I never use it because we had cats, now I’m just too lazy. But today’s tree is so beautiful and reminds me of mom.

Dorothy: Who’s that?
Scarecrow: A strange man with an axe and a can of lube. I’ll ask if he wants to join us?

I love tinsel, though we called it 'icicle'. I've tried trees without it. But I miss it.

Trees waiting for pickup post Christmas seem less sad if they still have their tinsel

Tree dumped on the curb still clad in tinsel seems extra sad ☹️
One time I saw a tree sticking out of a big garbage bin that still had bows and a star on it!! I was like WHAAAT? Who just dumps the whole tree?

Love tinsel on the tree. We used it on live trees but now not on our artificial trees.

I love tinsel on a tree, but I hate picking it off. I'm too lazy to use it, but I love seeing it!

We did the same. Nothing draped like the old tinsel.

for the next year. Tinsel makes a tree magical.

Haha! I was thinking about the same thing yesterday …

How as kids we would grab handfuls and just throw them up toward the tree ! Especially my grandmother’s white tree.

Wonderful memories are such a gift.
