How do you feel about tinsel?
I think I want to use it this year instead or garland. I can't make up my mind one way or another. And once tinsel is up that is it, no changing my mind.
ETA: My tree will be locked away so my dog and Andrew can't get to it and it is a real tree:)

Re: How do you feel about tinsel?
I like tinsel again but I won't put it on the tree because it's hard to get off and I am afraid my cat will eat it.

Re: How do you feel about tinsel?
Tinsel is like the houseguest that never leaves. Whenever I have used it, I find that I'm vacuuming it up for MONTHS after christmas. I also have a cat that will chew on it and then get sick all over the place, so no tinsel for us.

We never use it cause I've heard it's bad for your pets since they like to eat it.

ITA! I HATE it with a passion. I cannot stand it and I feel like it makes the tree look messy.
Then again, I am a real snob about our tree. All handmade ornaments go in the back and all of my glass ornaments are in the front and sides. Then I have light blue bows on a few outer branches and WHITE LIGHTS ONLY. NO Garland, no tinsel, just glass ornaments, white lights and bows as a color accent. It actually looks very pretty when it is all put together. DH thinks I am nuts and calls me the tree nazi.

Re: How do you feel about tinsel?
I love the way it looks, but I had a bad experience with my cat eating it once. That was the end of the tinsel!

Re: How do you feel about tinsel?
Honestly, what I do is I cut the shiny, sparkly garland into about 2 -3 inch pieces and put them on the end of my branches. They aren't messy, you get the same effect, and you can use it from year to year.
A picture of last year's tree:

I use it only when I put up a real tree... not on my fake one, it is hard to get off.

Re: How do you feel about tinsel?
I love tinsel and multi-color lights! Preferrably on a real tree b/c it's easier to clean...just toss the tree!
I have all intentions of doing a real tree with multi-color lights, satin ball ornaments (if I can find them) and tinsel! It's one of my fondest memories of Christmas as a child.

Tinsel is messy and annoying. If I use it, I use it sparingly.

Re: How do you feel about tinsel?
I can't do tinsel because of my cats. They tend to eat everything and I've seen what can happen to cats when a piece of tinsel gets swallowed....

Re: How do you feel about tinsel?
I like tinsel in moderation for sparkle. But I hate it on fake trees when it gets left on year after year, and it gets all crinkled looking.

Re: How do you feel about tinsel?
I loooove tinsel. Growing up we hand the strands of it, not a garland. I loved putting it up, though my parents hated it cuz it's such a pain to take off. Now DH won't let me get it for that reason.  But it looks great when it's on the tree.

Reminds me of my grandma. I don't use it but I think of it fondly due to her.
