It depends on how it is being used
Used sparingly its fine, its a fine line though and very easy to go over the top when it does start to look very pikey.

Keep up, grandad.
The best way to show off your common, pikey credentials at Christmas nowadays is with electric lights. The more the better.
Tinsel is more for the dumb office bints to put in their hair and drape lamely over light fittings 'to brighten the place up a bit'

What I like best about Stay Another Day is that it isn't really a Christmas song, but in order to secure that all important Christmas no 1 slot, they covered it in bells and wore big parkas in the snow in the video

See also Pipes of Peace, which although the video depicts the 1914 Christmas truce, has no mention of Christmas in the lyrics.
In fact, the Jona Lewie one also has a World War One themed video.
Maybe there is something in that.
