I am quite ready to be told IABU!
DP and I have put up the xmas tree. Its great, nice size, red and gold with a few vintage style baubles along with some other nice red ones.
Now the problem.....I hate tinsel with a passion and we had some inherited hideous red with gold holly tinsel that is quite threadbare in places.
For some reason DP thinks it looks lovely and has put it on the tree. It looks awful. I gently suggested we put the gold beads on instead and used the tinsel round the mirror but no he won't hear anything against the fucking horrible stuff!
Just so I'm not drip feeding it wasn't from his family so no sentimental feelings towards it he just has really bad taste.
I will be having family over and I am really embarrassed by it as I cannot describe how hideous it is!
Wibu to wait till he is asleep, take it off, put the beads on and ignore the fallout or do I just suck it up and try not to look at it (it's in my living room so will spend a lot of time with it)
* I know first world problems and it is slightly tongue in cheek.
