Not a Grinch at all! From what I have seen, most tie projects are memory related.

I am glad you wrote this comment as it may have sparked some creative additional ideas for some folks.

If going for a 'memory' ornament, this is a good idea to give to family members, as long as the deceased was known by his ties.
To me, this is the best use of old ties that I have seen:
