Important Christmas tree decorating question (NOT!!)
This week I helped decorated holiday trees at Children's Hospital. 2 of us were assigned 4 trees. Now, I always put the garland on last, but my decorating partner always put the garland on first. So, to be fair, we did two trees each way.
So, -- when do you put the garland on the tree, first, or last. (The lights were already on the trees, we did not have to worry about those!) |
It depends on the garland. I have a garland of little wrapped presents that I like to put on after the lights but before the ornaments. If it is the fuzzy tinsel kind, I like that last so it drapes nicely on the ends of the boughs.
Who still puts tinsel on their tree? I stopped once we got an artificial trees because it is a pain to take it all off before storing the tree. Do they even still make tinsel? |
it sounds like the toilet tissue, over or under
|
I don't do garland at all. No room for it with all the ornaments. 😜
|
I put mine on last, however I have not use any in years.
|
I do lights, garland then the other decorations. I have such a large collections of ornaments that I could never get the garland over and around them once they were on the tree.

I don't use garland , I do like the old fashioned messy tinsel or as some call it icicles . |
You are right!!! I guess that's why neither of us really took it seriously. We made a good decorating pair.
I never really cared how family members replaced the toilet tissue, as long as they did it!!

i put the garland on before the ornaments, otherwise the garland may knock the ornaments out of their spot
|
Garland first. it's just easier for me that way.
