I love tinsel, I think you can get cheap horrible tinsel and lovely thick tinsel. Each to their own but I think a tree without tinsel is like going out with only your knickers on - not quite fully dressed.

Haha this made me laugh...know what u mean about the tinsel quality, makes allthe difference.

I dont hate it but definitely don't love it. Have a couple of thick pieces made into garlands but don't think they've been used for a few years.

I dont tink there will be room on the tree this year...

No, don't put it on the tree, my tree doesn't look bare at all, it looks lovely, don't need the tinsel on it.

I think it depends on how old and what colour it is and how it ties in with your home.

We have a christmas tree with white and red baubles and all the special ones I've got the last 7 years from my son and yesterday him and hubby took it upon themselves to get some really thick white and clear thick tinsel, must say it's a bit ott but they spent all the afternoon decorating it whilst i cooked dinner it would hurt their feelings to remove it and do it again!

Not on the tree but anywhere else is acceptable.

I have hated tinsel for years, hated with a passion but bf was adamant he was putting his tinsel on the tree as it would look nice...I was skeptical but i must say it looks perfect! absolutely devine I would post a picture but I'm not sure how haha

It is luscious, thick, quality tinsel though

I absolutely love it! When I was younger I'd put it all over my room (not so much now, haha!). I used to play in a few Christmas concerts and used to love dressing my sax up in tinsel - I hope he didn't mind

I'm a fan but like many of you I don't put it on the tree.

I prefer strings of beads and other garlands, more delicate looking I suppose, and there's not much room after I put on all the ornaments that need to go on (our current tree is only 3 feet!).


Elsewhere though, the more the better
If I don't restrain myself the inside of our house (and my office!) looks like an explosion in a tinsel factory :eek:

We're exactly the same. Always had it in my room when younger and put some round my clarinet and in my hair like a bobble!
