To like foil hanging decorations and tinsel?

[MillyA]

My DB is aghast that I have tinsel on my tree every year and today my friend was saying she would never have hanging foil decorations up in her house.

I feel like I've missed something.

Are these things considered tacky nowadays?

Poundland had lametta in stock when I was shopping today, though I got some on Ebay for approx £2.50

I've got the best lametta-a department store in Brighton used to sell wonderful tree decorations, and I've got lametta that's stapled together at one end, so you don't have to peel the shreds off the tree individually.
