My DH's boss held a Xmas party at the weekend. You will never guess what they had on their tree.

[MmeHereWeGoAWassailLindt]

Amongst hundreds of baubles. I am amazed the tree did not fall over.

[ZacharyQuack]

mooncups?

[Isaw3SMALLSHIPSgosailingby]

chickens.

Bananas.

[whomovedmychocolate]

The tortured souls of the secretariat?

[MmeHereWeGoAWassailLindt]

And mickey mouse baubles

[whomovedmychocolate]

A white feather boa. Is that all - Debenhams sell them, they aren't that unusual

Am disappointed about the lack of tortured souls.

[ToysAreLikeDogs]

eurgh

They have No Taste

[Isaw3SMALLSHIPSgosailingby]

Horrible, but not unusual!

I have spent the last 16 Christmases in Germany where tinsel is considered the height of bad taste so it was shocking

LOL at some of the suggestions. A mooncup tree would be unusual

[ToysAreLikeDogs]

Oh you must see this

[whomovedmychocolate]

I think tinsel looks slightly better than dog vomit on a tree but it's a close thing. But then my tree has colour coordinated baubles (52 of them evenly spaced). However, DD has a tree in her room which looks like Julian Clary's closet . Her tree has Iggle Piggles hanging from the branches and all sorts

[whomovedmychocolate]

Toysarelikedogs that's v funny.

[MmeHereWeGoAWassailLindt]

TALD
My eyes, my eyes!!

You would have loved this house then. Barely an inch without tinsel or glittery baubles. And Disneyland baubles with a photo of the DGC inside.

They are lovely people but their taste in Xmas decorations was far far from mine.

[ToysAreLikeDogs]

[mumeeee]

I like tinsel on the Christmas tree. My children always decorate it and they put baubles and tinsel on it and it always loks fab. I hate co-ordinated trees and decorations.

[Bienchen]

Actually, tinsel is not completely outlawed in Germany.

But it has to be individual silver strands and just a smattering of them, too.

[MmeHereWeGoAWassailLindt]

Lametta, isn't it? Not seen that in years. I used to work in a weihnachtsmarkt and we sold loads of it. And Engelshaar, the really fine golden lametta that makes the tree sparkle without you seeing how it is sparkly.
