– I thought you said you had put up your Christmas tree?
– I have. There it is, in the corner.
– Of course. I don't know how I missed it.
– It is unobtrusive, certainly: I didn't want anything too showy.
– It is not definitely not showy. And yet, sometimes Christmas trees can get away with being a little bit showy. Tinsel, decorations – they work quite well on a Christmas tree. Even fairy lights, normally not the sort of thing you would want to drape around your living room, somehow suit it.
– Do you think I've gone for too muted a look?
– Sometimes it's best to make a bold statement. The blobs of carelessly scattered cotton wool are charming in their own way, but maybe it just needs something extra.
