Tinsel: Not the done thing?

I was buying some new tree decorations yesterday (because I am the DCs are very excited about putting the tree up on Saturday Grin

Anyway... from what I've seen no-one puts tinsel on their tree anymore. I've always done tinsel, am I embarassingly retro and dated?

yup, but that's what Christmas is about! So go for it

Yes. You either embrace it or reject it.

How can I ever show my face in public again? Shock

Oh dear. Now I face a dilemma: Be shamelessly tat-tastic or do a test run without the tinsel and see if it leaves me feeling empty and cold inside...

i always put tinsel on my tree, and round all the pic frames, doors and well, everything.

Tinsel on the tree is a must ... dunno what else would hide the wire of the lights :)

biglips · 30/11/2010 19:28

ive got tinsels and beads plus decors on my tree

taffetazatyousantaclaus · 30/11/2010 20:01

Tinsel adds a depth to the tree that nothing else does. I use thinnish silver tinsel, wrapped around the inner branches and trunk, nothing matches its sparkliness. Lametta is lame, and besides which the cat would choke on it. Not keen on beads. But each to their own and all that. If you like it, sod everyone else, use it.

Phew, thanks you lot Grin

I too have great memories of draping it over, well, everything really!
