Answer 2

Two different kinds of Christmas decorations.

One are silver metallic strands(also sometimes in other colors as well), that we hang on the Christmas tree branches. They're called icecicles.

The other kinds of tinsel are the very long boas of shiny metallic plastic that we can drape on the tree or stairways and around windows. Offices use this type of tinsel because it's cheap. It's sort of an immitation of pine needles strung on string or wire.

Tinsel is always shiny and metallic like.

Answer 3

not really sure -- will put wiki after it and google -- brb -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinsel not much ther but here's what it says -- Tinsel is a thin metallic strip typically made of plastic for use for Christmas decoration, particularly on Christmas trees. Originally created in Germany, Tinsel is different than Garland, which is "Tinsel on a rope".

Tinsel used to include lead, which caused the strands to hang better from the branches. This was eventually removed due to safety concerns.
