I don't remember the timing when I was growing up, but a week or so
before sounds right (if only to give time to put the tinsel on one
piece at a time, placed carefully -- /that/ I remember). After New
Year's seems likely for disposing of the tree although it could have
stretched to Epiphany.

We only used tinsel during years we had no cat - we had one incident
where we found a piece of tinsel about 18" dangling from the cat - she
had eaten it and let's just say the tinsel didn't stay in her litter
box. We figured she could badly injure herself if it caught on
something so didn't use it the following year (nor since).

I only did it strand-by-strand when I was being watched. It wasn't
/my/ obsession.

Adults in the 50's -- they wanted something done, they told the kids
to do it, and then they whined (at a minimum) when they didn't like
the results.
