Oh, F.Y.I. tinsel for
Christmas Trees was invented in Nuremberg Germany around 1610.
Tinsel was originally made from extruded strands of silver and because silver
tarnishes quickly, other shiny metals were substituted so after 1610 up
to 1972 was made of Led. Ahh the good old days, Led gasoline in every car and Led paint for me to help with my teething on my crib!
Tinsel is thought to
have made its first public appearance in England in 1846. Queen Victoria and Prince
Albert were illustrated in the Illustrated London News, standing with their
children around a Christmas tree decorated with tinsel, candles, and small bead
ornaments. Because of Queen Victoria’s popularity, the Royal family’s decorated
tree became the height of fashion sweeping through both the British and East
Coast American Societies.
According to the
Oxford Dictionary; the word tinsel comes from an Old French word “estincele”,
which means sparkle.
This shiny decorative
material is a great toy to your pets, especially for playful pets such as cats and dogs, although for
them and little humans it is still dangerous for them to eat, which they most
likely would try So Be Careful!
HAPPY TOXIC
CHRISTMAS!
