Default Tinsel - old school.

I was thinking the same thing, Denny

We had a few packs when I was a kid - mom always took it off the tree and put it back in the package while taking down the tree. I remember we also started only getting the "new" (lightweight) stuff by the time I was 10 (1973).

It was *so* different. The old leaded tinsel was heavy, and would actually hang on the tree. Would not blow away, even in a stiff breeze - we used fans in Orlando, even in December ...

Happy Holidays, everyone.
