Yes Lisa! I remember lead tinsel too.

We have a huge fake tree, it's really quite pretty. The first year we put it up we didn't tell anyone. The rest of my family didn't know it was fake until they got really close, trying to smell the pine! We have ornaments from when my parents were first married (50+ years ago) on up to newer stuff. I usually buy one special ornament each year. Nothing matches, a multitude of colors - my favorite kind of tree.
