I over did it with the tree. Got overexcited and brought a proper sized Christmas tree into a London flat and now it's basically towering over the living room like a Doctor Who villain.
It looks weirdly like an alter. I mean, to anyone passing by seeing it through the window we'll look like fucking Christmas fanatics.
The tree is blocking out the light from the window, making the room all gloomy during the daytime. I've fucked this thing right up.
Ok fine, to those asking, here is a photo of The Beast. There used to be a chair there. I have nowhere to put the chair. 
It might look nicer once we've put the decorations on. But equally it might become more oppressive.
I appreciate the messages about how to tastefully decorated the tree. The missus, however, is a firm believer in Scottish kitsch. So I suspect it's going to look like some kind of hallucinatory Robert Burns fever dream.
