    I love the neutral colored baubles on this McGee family tree! The neutral colors make it look elegant. It reminds me more of a mountain tree in the winter time. I'm not a fan of all the usual multi-colored colorful lighted trees.
    This tree turned out beautiful! 🌲💝

    I grew up in the 60s and 70s using a live tree and tinsel with the old fashioned colored lights.🎉
    Nicely done simplistic.

    I love that you did something different and added tinsel. I also love that you allowed us into your home for a decorating session instead of the usual “Studio McGee” promo home. Although those are beautiful and I enjoy to watch them as well, this felt more personal and different.
    As always, I look forward to your videos. A Syd and Shea video never disappoints. Thank you for posting this.

    I love the tinsel! It reminds me of my childhood. My mom used to put the tinsel on piece by piece! It would take her hours. One year the dog pulled the whole tree down. Needless to say, she wasn’t very happy. She started in right away decorating the tree again piece by piece of tinsel!

    • @diasnovitawuri1939

    • @susancooper1045
      @susancooper1045 Год назад +1

      My mom would not have to remove it at all because it was a real tree! That was always the easy part throwing it away and then vacuuming. Sometimes my dad would burn the tree in the fireplace but not often. This was in the 50’s and 60’s.

    James from Dallas Texas just saying I'm 70 when I was in my teens and younger we put icicle tinsel on the tree one by one almost two at a time three you don't just throw it on the prettiest look is when you individually put it on each branch anyway that's what I used to do plus my grandmother taught me how to make bows when I was probably 10 or 11 I've been making bows forever we started out with non-wired ribbon and when wired ribbon came out it was such a blessing that used to be my signature when I would decorate Holmes was my ribbon my bows my fabric not bragging but I am very good at doing all kinds of loops and bows and such things❤

    tinsel ruled from 30s to about 1972. When we were kids we covered the outside so the big colored lights looked like they were shining through Ice, or so we thought.😊 btw, we were ocd about each piece laying separately, not piling up on top of branch.

    I'm 68 yo. In the 1960s my mother put tinsel on the tree one strand at a time. Our job after Christmas was to take it off by laying it over our hand, saving it for next year. In the 1990s I found a package at Kmart for 99 cents. I never knew how cheap it was! Blew my mind and sorta made me wonder about my mother. But that was in the days of 7 kids and 1 breadwinner. Good memory though.
