A delightful tree

We put up our agency's tree today, and decorated it with the help of a 12 foot ladder. The "presents" underneath are empty boxes. We bring them out every year! They add to the decor and also provide a bit of a buffer, to keep people from walking close enough to brush up against the tree. There weren't very many of us involved in decorating; most employees (and a few members of the public) simply stopped by to add a bauble or two and to chat.
