  5. It must be the singular pieces of tinsel that give this tree the old-fashioned look. I love it. Here's My Saturday Snapshot

  9. When I did tinsel, I did it that way. Our tree takes us a couple days to put up.

  18. I was helping my dad put up his tree last week and he said the same thing about the tinsel... that they would put it up strand by strand. I'm really glad we didn't have to do that! Although it does look beautiful it's way too much work.

  21. If that tree were a pizza, it would be an "all-dressed."
    Very nice.
    It even has a skirt.
    A mini-skirt -- in keeping with the '70's.
