I was a little nervous about the 'glitter bomb' comment, so I opened the box carefully.  It is definitely glittery, but a bit of sparkle is what I wanted.  I tried one of the garlands on the banister and smiled as soon as I stepped away and looked up.  It is beautiful...full and wintery and yes, there is some glitter on  the floor...but it's worth it!  Can't wait to put up the others!
