Thanks all!!!!
I think I'm ready to move away from tinsel but the teenager put up a fight saying it was integral to her x-mas experience..haha. I tried to persuade her that tinsel (garland) was no longer fashionable but she won't budge on her opinion.
Anyway, since it's my tree and house and not hers

, I'm not going to use garland this year and am doing so guilt free.
Thanks all! Another problem solved via YT!
