Uggh, hate it! Not a fan of garland either, I like to use red or silver beads instead.

I hate it. I think it looks old fashioned.

That's my opinion. I'd rather use ribbon.Chat Icon

Re: How do you feel about tinsel?

When used in moderation it just adds so much beauty to a tree IMO... I love it - we have always used it ever since I was a little girl, and I continue to do so now!

Re: How do you feel about tinsel?

eh, I'm not a fan..... but then again, I dislike tinsel garlands even more....

I think both of them just cover the beautiful tree and ornaments.... and should only be used when you're trying to hide less than perfect ornaments Chat Icon

My ideal tree has garlands of other varieties... maybe a silver or velvet ribbon with wire edging?

Honestly, I HATE tinsel. I think it looks tacky and always messes up the tree. IMO


ditto

I guess I fall into that "tree snob" category- b/c I hate colored lights also Chat Icon



Me too!

Re: How do you feel about tinsel?

Looks nice...I have seen old pics from when my mom was younger and my grandparents used it to decorate the tree. We have never used it because my mom also said it is a huge PIA

I love tinsel and multi-color lights! Preferrably on a real tree b/c it's easier to clean...just toss the tree! Chat Icon



It's one of my fondest memories of Christmas as a child. Chat Icon




These 2 reasons alone are why I love tinsel!!

But sadly, none for us because of the cats. I don't like shiny litter boxes!!Chat Icon

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

Me too. I like it, but with the dog and the baby it's too dangerous.

I LOVE TINSEL!!!!!!! It's sooooo working class blue colar in a trashy way. I went to my local store and picked up 10 boxes of it and plan to decorate our tree with tinsel, satin balls, and ICICLE LIGHTSChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: How do you feel about tinsel?

I despise tinsel.

And I don't use garland either.

We just put red bows at the end of our branches sporadically to "finish" the tree.

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. Chat Icon




you just made me spit out my coffee.I am lmao...
I was the same way...it took me 3 days to wrap the lights around the damn branches...
Im peeing.
