Trimming

When I think of trimming, I think of my overgrown bangs, my parents' dog's toenails, and the out of control plants on my porch.

Some people think of trimming and it means the opposite: making things fuller, longer, and more festive.

"Trimming" is a verb to describe decorating the Christmas tree. After much hard work we accomplished not only that but also we trimmed above the cabinets, various ledges, tops of tables, backs of doors, a few love seats, and even a piano with holiday spirit.
