Even Stalin would throw a bit of tinsel on.

stalin would probably dismiss tinsel as a frivolous and decadent remnant of bourgeois or religious traditions, incompatible with the ideals of soviet socialism

now if Stalin were fabulously gay and still the iron fisted ruler of the Soviet Union, his perspective on christmas tree tinsel would likely be... dramatically different. Let’s imagine:
"Comrades! Look at this tinsel—shimmering, glittering, absolutely radiant! Such decadence, such sparkle! If we are to build a glorious socialist future, shouldn’t our trees also dazzle with proletarian flair? Why settle for dull austerity when our New Year’s Yolka can serve fierce revolutionary realness?"
"Let the tinsel cascade, let it shine like the hammer and sickle catching the morning sun! After all, the workers deserve fabulousness alongside their bread and tractors. But remember, comrades—this tinsel is not bourgeois; it is people's tinsel! And every strand must glimmer with the light of collective prosperity. Now, fetch me the red glitter, and someone fix that crooked star on top—it’s giving counter-revolutionary energy."

In this alternate timeline, Stalin might have turned the New Year tree into an extravagant spectacle—a shining symbol of both state propaganda and impeccable taste. The gulags might still exist, but at least they'd have fabulous holiday decorations
.Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better.
