Remember "angel hair"? It was some kind of spun glass (fiberglass, maybe?) stuff like cotton candy and you spread it over the tree. It HAD to be bad for you.
It's a wonder we survived Christmas. Candy with red dye #something that gave you cancer. Highly breakable ornaments just waiting to slice and dice your hands. Christmas lights that got hotter'n Hades and set things on fire. Candles. Dry pine trees just waiting to burst into flames at the drop of a hat.
But, man, what a good time it was!
You're right -- it's a wonder we survived. I do remember that angel hair stuff, too. My mother outlawed it because it got everywhere. And remember those tinsel icicles that got everywhere and you could never get them all cleaned up! They sort of stuck to everything, including the dog. She didn't like those, either.
