Christmas Tinsel

[simmitc]

This is not a request for theological or religious discussion, and there are no euphemisms, it’s a straightforward simple question with no ulterior motive:

Do you prefer your Christmas Tree (if you have one) WITH or WITHOUT tinsel?

Thanks in advance for all responses.

I feel there should be a 'not bothered, the other half can have their choice' option....

Christmas, Christmas, it’s September !!!!

I totally agree with both geoberni and Les. I like it when the other half is happy.

They say that you always know Christmas is approaching because you can find Easter eggs in the shops!
Re tinsel...it’s a bit naff but nostalgic. We do it a bit, but great to see the back of it on 2nd of Jan! You can now get non plastic,save the planet versions. But costs more of course.

Talking of Christmas, if anyone is lucky enough to have a band called St Agnes Fountain playing nearby don’t miss them!
They only do a short annual Christmas tour.

Not a very large response, but a clear preference for tinsel. Now to reveal why I wanted ot know: The Club Shop will be selling a new range of christmas tree decorations. Different designs and sizes in white, silver, gold, wood, and paint-your-own-colour. Full details in Nov/Dec Minor Matters, but the photos will be on a plain background (which is what our Merchandise Manager wanted as she says that tinsel is naff and old-fashioned) . Whilst I have to agree that the plain background will show the details well, here's a small sample WITH a little bit of tinsel...
