That stuff was very strange. We had the metal foil stuff as a kid. Dad protected it like gold. Every strand had to come off the tree individually and be placed on a folded piece of newspaper that was then folded specially to protect the tinsel for years of use to come. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother still has a couple of unopened boxes of leaded tinsel. She doesn't use it any more but she doesn't want to throw it away. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what it says on the label. But just how Christian is an orgy of materialism? Not at all. Look at the history of the thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the history of the thing. America is one of the only places I know that places materialism, as a cornerstone of Christmas. Clearly, you need higher taxes. Don't worry though, Canada is catching up. We have a $5000 Christmas budget with $200 allocated to each family member. The remainder goes to charities. I guess it is as material as one makes it.

Further Posted January 11, 2020 Share #16 Posted January 11, 2020 Christmas has become a bit depressing. We don't have any little kids in the family anymore. Too little joy, too many loved ones have passed around the holiday time. Thankful we made it through this year without adding another name to the list.
