   Thanks!

   The tinsel is the only CSG on that scene, as the baubles are a Wings3D 
objects. It's very tricky, as I created a spline in a loop, from one side to 
the other, while using trace() to lay it on the y axis following the balls 
profiles. Then I placed a bunch of simple objects following the spline.

   That's a sphere using a HDRI, the kitchen one from Paul Debevec.

   Are you sure? ;) ...I feel it's easier for me to show you the dirty code, 
rather than to try to explain how it works. I will clean a bit the files, 
add some comments and publish a zip on my site... real soon, I promise.
