We weren't sustainability freaks way back then, just living on a tight budget with little room for unnecessary stuff. A tree was necessary, tinsel wasn't.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-63665984416201382812012-12-26T11:36:37.820-05:002012-12-26T11:36:37.820-05:00We still see some tinsel around here...We still see some tinsel around here...VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186211344492845052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-86190217447184902642012-12-26T11:07:13.273-05:002012-12-26T11:07:13.273-05:00Ah, all those mysteries of life.

I decided it disappeared because it's probably not considered environmentally friendly nowadays. Few people would take the time to remove the tinsel before tossing out the tree.SRQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10076279765970764962noreply@blogger.com
