Do you put tinsel on your Christmas tree?

I don't put tinsel on my tree I get tired of picking it up off the floor and out of my chilrends hair! I put garland around my tree and I think that makes it look pretty enought to not put the tinsel on.
My aunt puts so much tinsel on her tree you can't even see the decorations!

My son likes tinsel so there is going to be tinsel on our Christmas tree and I will have to pick it up everytime it falls off the tree and vacuum it all up later on LOL

I've never been very fond of tinsel myself. I've seen people who coat their trees with it so much that all you see is the tinsel. I like tinsel garland though and usually have some of that on my tree. I really just prefer lots of lights, ows, and simple ornaments.

I would much rather NOT put tinsel on my tree
I truly dispise the stuff
Its messy and gets everywhere and is just a big pain in the butt
BUT my husband loves the stuff and refuses to have a tree without the stuff

When I used to put up a large tree, ctry, I would throw some of everything on there. Since I've been using a small tree I try to pick and choose exactly what I want on it. I do use a bit of tinsel on my tree with a minimal amount of decorations. For me, it's all about the lights. I love the lights!

Hi again,we like simple,nice green tree with a lot of small lights and with pink "balls"!I never use tinsel!Regards Silvana

I never liked tinsel either, for the same reason you don't like it. It falls to the floor and just makes a big mess and it is hard to get it all out when you want to take the tree down. We have an artificial spruce tree and it is always hard to get it out when the season is over. I don't think we will be using it either, we will be using balls, and bows and garland and lights... but that is all.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no, it depends on what mood i am in when i decorate my christmas tree...I use to have a huge tree when my kids were small and we put everything on the tree including tinsel, we even strung popcorn as a family back then..Now it is just my husband and i, but i always put up a tree each year but a much smaller version, the grandkids like a tree so we have one, but i dod not think i had tinsel last year,i might this year, im not sure at this point..

I don't use either one nor do I use artificial snow either. We put our ornaments up and then we put up little red bows all over the tree and it looks really pretty. One wouldn't think so till they've seen one all done up, I'm one of them till my grandmother bought a couple of boxes for me so I had to use them before she came over to see how good my tree looked and I was quite pleasantly surprised that it turned out to be right pretty. However, each person is different and all of us decorate our trees like our homes, much differently which is interesting to see when going to different houses and seeing it for ourselves.

we had tinsel on our tree a few times when I was growing up, but switched to garlands, and even that wold make some of a mess.

But tinsel is a nighmare, and I won't use it.

I'd rather string popcorn, or let my kids make paper chains.

I'm afraid of even ornaments this year as I have a cat, and afraid she will knock them down.
