AIBU to prepare to LTB

[dawntigga]

DH next week as he will insist that the Christmas tree gets tinsel, lights, more tinsel and then baubles, when EVERYONE KNOWS that it's lights, tinsel then baubles.

It's terrible that I have to put up with this EVERY YEAR.

I love tinsel, stop being horrible about tinsel

I've got tinsel, beads, baubles and a hell of alot more on my tree.
In my house Christmas is definitely not 'less is more'!

Of course you need tinsel!! Also never lived in the 70's

Tinsel? Noooooooo

Lights, base colour baubles, other baubles, star.

I hate tinsel,ds1 loves tinsel,my tree has tinsel on it........aaaaaaaaaaaahhh

you're all wrong-it's baubles, beads, lights, tinsel ... and then a few new baubles each yr!!

Oh Tigga, I'm so sorry you're going through this keep posting, and stay strong.

What's wrong with tinsel??

Bloody hell people, this is not a tinsel vs no tinsel debate!

Although the no tinsel people among us are of course VERY WRONG!

YABVairU, all know that it's tinsel FIRST, then lights, tinsel, baubles.

You have to cover the bare inner tree with tinsel y'know! Though you can be forgiven if you have a hearty tree on which it's impossible to see the inner tree for the mass of decs and tinsel on the outside

Are you Mr Tigga Confused Another polarising debate on MN

TinselVsNoTinselAndWhereTheLightsGoTiggaxx

This will be a topic on The Wright Stuff for sure.

Sparklingbrook do you think so? Do you really think so?????

Nothing would surprise me. They love MN on TWS. Threads were quoted on Friday.

No tinsel
Maybe no baubles

I love tinsel. Our tree isn't up yet. I am excited!

You actually allow your DH to come anywhere near the tree during the dressing process?

Goodness me - how odd. Mine is only allowed in the room if I can't make the lights work. Once he's sorted those out he has to leave again.

NO WAY would I allow him to make important creative decisions about the order/content of the baubley stuff. NO WAY.

Lights, special ornaments, filler baubles, topper. No tinsel.

::gavel::

Ooh and tree chocolates. Cadburys though not the dog chocolate cheapo sort.

I don't do tree chocolates any more (they don't last) but candy canes look lovely and do last!

I buy 16 Cadburys ones. If they get eaten that's it.

If you don't have tinsel (after the lights, natch), how do you hide the horrible electrical cable?

I have tinsel everywhere.

Admittedly, tasteful is not my forté. Garish, multi-coloured and spangly just about describes my lounge atm.

Oh, and it's lights then tinsel ofc.

My boyfriend put our tree up when I was out at work last week. He did it the right way (lights, beads, hanging decorations then topper). Was v. impressed to come home to a winter wonderland!

In our house it's lights, tinsel, baubles, lametta and THEN CANDLES!

Oh yes, nothing like a large piece of dry resin-laden timber in the middle of your lounge and then set fire to it
