I am surprised, some traditions was much older than I thought, like tinsel.
Thank you for sharing!

As children in the fifties we used to decorate the room with holly and paper chains but alas our budgie objected to the holly and assumed the paper chains were extra perches (which alas snapped). So we had to restrict the decorations.
I love Christmas carols but even now I still sing Silent Night as Stille Nacht from being in the German choir at school in the sixties!
I love tinsel and remember finishing the decorations on the tree with the ultra thin strips of silver tinsel which glittered in the light.
Thank you for this lovely post.
