Deck the Halls

Well actually we decked the hall, lounge, and family room. Yesterday saw the retrieval of the crates of decorations from the garage, and the Christmas tree from the loft. Several hours later the Silver Vixen had worked her magic and the house was dressed and ready for the season.

Now, the Gorse Fox would stress this was internal decoration. With the exception of a Christmas wreath, there is no external decoration of the house. In general, GF finds that to be difficult to get right. Some subtle lighting can look nice, and even some spectacular lighting as we often see in the US. Too often, however, we find poorly executed, tacky decoration that is badly designed and looks just dreadful. Rather than get it wrong, we have opted for the minimalist approach.
