I remember how it would make your fingers all *black* and all the while, we were eating Christmas cookies throughout the evening. Heh.
We hated that job!
Christmas was never the same after the normal tinsel was replaced by the floaty, flighty, cling-to-nothing-but-the-person-hanging-it garbage. Couldn’t even open the box without it wanting to go anywhere but on a tree.
When I was a kid we saved the tinsel year-to-year, only had to refresh the stash in order to replace what we ate the previous year. ;)

Correct. I don’t think anyone even bothers with it anymore, we sure don’t.
This was the first year in a long time we didn’t do a tree at all. We haven’t had a real one since we’ve been under construction since Hurricane Sandy, but the last two years I did put a little artificial one we have up. This year I got sick for 2 weeks after Thanksgiving, so I just forgot about it all together.
Hubby was good and put up lights outside, so at least we didn’t look like complete heathens.
