We here at HarperCollins take our Christmas decoration seriously – if it doesn’t sparkle, we don’t like it. I thought we might share some of our decorating tips with our devoted Voyager readers – perhaps, someday, you might have an office as sparkly as ours.
1. Three trees are better than one
Why have only one Christmas tree when you could have three?! Make sure that they’re suitably positioned at average head height for maximum impact.
Remember, Christmas trees don’t necessarily have to be green. They come in a variety of colours – Marketing have a white Christmas tree (as can be seen below).
2. Why green?
The purists among you may well scoff at this second office decorating tip. “Green is the only colour a tree should be” you’ll say. Well, I say that trees are CURRENTLY green.
Why not get ahead of the curve? Who knows what colour trees will be in the future? Follow our Marketing departments bold tree statement and get a white tree.
3. “Home”made
If you have an art department, which we do, then you’re bound to get something creative out of them – note the specially designed Paper Chains. It’s also a real tree. So, tree purists, I hope you’re happy.
I tried to make Paper Chains…
I’m kidding… that’s a scene from Elf.
4. Decorations
Nearly as important are the tree decorations that you put on it. We’ve seen what you can do with a bit of time and a team of creative designers. Now, let’s take a look at what you can do with a touch of Christmas spirit and Poundland.
Why not make a bold statement with decorations that are as big as your Christmas tree? This fine specimen is the Voyager Christmas tree. We really think that we’ve outdone ourselves with this one. Note that the tree is made of tinsel – that, dear readers, is the height of office Christmas tree style.
Have a lovely Christmas!
