It's that time again. You know, the trees, the lights, the presents, and the tinsel. Yes, you heard me right. Tinsel. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of tinsel. Just give me garland, lights, and ornaments, but no tinsel please.
I mean, what is the purpose to tinsel anyways? It covers up your ornaments, lights, and what ever else you may have on the tree. If you don't want your adornments to be seen, then don't put any on.
Also, the mess. Oh, the mess. You know what I'm talking about if you have pets or small children. By the end of the day, there is more tinsel on my daughter and the floor than on the tree.
My mother's tree is covered in tinsel, and I have to admit that it does look pretty. That is, until you look at the two bottom rows of branches. They remind me of Charlie Brown's poor little Christmas tree, courtesy of my daughter of course.
Yes, sure, tinsel is pretty and sparkley, but is it really worth the time and effort? Personally, I have enough to clean up already without adding tinsel into the equation.
So, whether you put tinsel on your tree or not, have a very merry Christmas!

I am with you on the tinsel!
It can be pretty sometimes, or too overdone, but definitely too messy! Since I have been married we have decorated our tree with lights, many ornaments that the kids have made over the years, and various colors of the round "ball" ornaments. No tinsel or garland. I guess I am just a Christmas tree decorating minimalist!
Although that is a doll baby in your post putting the tinsel on!
