    I have 4000 glass ornaments, collected since the 50s, I put up 14 trees a year 😊

      It must take a long time to put up that many trees.
      But I bet it's worth it. I know they are so beautiful. It would be awesome to see all the beautiful ornaments you have collected.
      What a wonderful thing to collect.
      I wish you lived close enough , I would love to see all the beautiful trees and ornaments. ❤😊

    We put lead tinsle on our tree. We also had the star from "It's a Wonderful Life" that the Bailey's put on their tree. My grandfather brought it home from the studio when he worked at Warner Brothers Studio. He was a cameraman.

      I remember lead tinsel when I was very little. Wouldn’t use it now ! And my dog used to like to eat the plastic tinsel so I just stopped using it .

      I love them as well. Brings back childhood memories. We had the different colored ones like they show here. My Grandmother also had the original silver tree with the wheel that made the tree appear to change colors. Im 65 and oh boy do i miss those day's.

    I am a Civil War Re-enactor. One year I went to Fort Clinch for the Thanksgiving/Christmas weekend. We had a tree with real candles (and someone stationed next to it with a spray bottle in case it caught fire) homemade Christmas ornaments (I've made them too, and would not part with the six I have) a Thanksgiving meal with all the 1860's trimmings, and a table that groaned with desserts. Wonderful, period experience

    I use many of the “lost” items you mentioned. Truth be told many folks (many of them younger) are just lazy and have little regard for older ornaments, traditions, and Holiday crafts. Many decorations are also taken down well before the 12 days of Christmas are even over.

    I guess I'm old fashion but I have over 250 GLASS icicles. The shortest is 5" the longest is 7". I have always purchased Kurt Adler but started finding them on Amazon for less. There are no plastic anything on my tree. My ornaments have gone through, myself, my children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren. My mom used angle hair on her trees back in the early 50's and those trees looked like they were glowing... It was fiberglass but they were stunning. Call me old fashion but bubble lights are amazing❄.

    now that they make led lights that don't get hot, wish they would bring back the angel hair. It was so pretty & made the tree look so magical. apparently they were a fire danger..

    • @DawnM-g3d
      @DawnM-g3d 16 днів тому +1

      Asbestus, so not a fire hazard but a health hazard. A lot of these Al generated things are simply wrong. Full of mistakes. Eg. Bubble lights went away by at least the seventies, because I remember trying to find them as a teen. No longer made. Safer versions did come out at some point about 20 years ago or so. They were not replaced by LED lights because no such thing existed back then.
      We had asbestus drapes in our house as a child in the 60s. No angel hair. Mom did not like it. We did have tinsel, which I love, but I have cats, and it can kill them.
      It isn't just things like this full of mistakes. If it is AL generated, no matter the subject chances are it is full of mistakes. Often totally wrong.

    german hand made baňky and tinsel garlands did not dissapiered also tinsel icicles dissapierd, well in central europe a tree is not finished without them-also you can reuse lik 90% of them next year. what is fashionable in the USA is not the same as Europe so saying something dissapierd without specifying a country/continent is just lying to viewers faces
