My great grandmother use to tell us that tinsel was expensive so they put it on the tree and took it off strand by strand lol

I'm pushing 70 and growing up for years we used the same tinsel year after year...And you placed them on the tree you did not throw them....We took them down and Mom would wrap them around some cardboard and place them in a box. Rinse and repeat the next year.
