The Spirit of Christmas

This morning the girls in the team next door at work went to town with Christmas decorations and their work area now looks all very festive. I inherited some left overs, which I thought was a nice, tastefully understated silver piece of something resembling tinsel, so I set to work curling it nicely around the partitions and surrounding my space with it. Ell first told me it looked like I had used barbed wire - quite rude I thought :) - then one of guys walked past and stopped and asked "is it to keep you in or keep other people out?". Oh I laughed. It would seem that my effort to join in the festivities looks rather like I have razor-wired my desk.
So much for the Spirit of Christmas and spreading goodwill and cheer and all that ...
