Christmas tree decorations


Each time I see a Christmas tree that is "tastefully" decorated I cringe. By tastefully decorated I mean a tree that has multiple examples of the same cololoured baubles. I've seen lots this year - one with only the same silver and blue baubles, one with only the same matt red and glossy red baubles, one with only gold baubles and silver masks - I could go on. I abhor such minimalist "tasteful" (!) tree decoration. I much prefer trees with a wide range of baubles and other hangings that have grown up over the years, and including child-made decorations dating from years past. That being the case it will come as no surprise that our tree exhibits the latter kind of decoration, as shown in the photograph.
