There was nothing like lead tinsel,in the 50s. It draped properly and shimmered beautifully. When Christmas was over, it made great wadded up balls. It was terribly hard on our poor cats, though.

I love all that vintage stuff and I always try to find at least some old bulbs at yard sales.

My grandmother had those bubble lights. They used to fascinate me.

Bubble lights and wax stencils. I remember them very well. Every family member had his or her own unique personal ornament. Those who have passed on still get to celebrate Christmas with us through them.

As an expression of love even the cheap trinkets will do very nicely, thank you, and to hell with the mockery. The mockery is beginning to make me angry, and that won't do for Christmas. Bless all here.
