why do we put tinsel on christmas trees

Tinsel is used on Christmas trees to add sparkle and shine to the tree. Tinsel is made from very thin strips of metal that are twisted and curled into a shiny, reflective material. The tinsel can be draped over the branches of the tree, or it can be hung from the branches to create a beautiful effect. Tinsel is also used to decorate other items during the holiday season, such as wreaths and other ornaments. It adds a festive touch to any decoration and helps make the holiday season a time of joy and celebration.
