It's garlands (poll wouldn't let me edit it to make things clearer for those of you over the pond).
All this trimming the tree stuff is something you don't think about when in the first flush of lust, but then one day the poor sap finds himself standing there wondering why you've thrown a hissy fit when all he's done is drape a garland or two of tinsel over a tree branch prematurely...
Christmas trees must be real. The lights must be multi-coloured and must not in any way, shape or form flash. And the lights go on first, followed by the ornaments (because how else can you see if you've achieved balance?), with the tinsel last.
Oh, and that tatty and misshapen bit of cardboard with cooking foil stuck over it? Is the star I made for the tree when I was an impoverished student, has sentimental value, and will continue to grace the top of the tree until such time as it falls apart or I die, whichever occurs first.
