Non optimum tree...

The irony of the Christmas tree is that my favourite view of it is when I turn the other lights off in the room and there's just a soft glow - you can see the ornaments a bit, though not in detail, and everything is soft and gentle. Unfortunately it's a) difficult to enjoy this way for any length of time, as it's too dark to read or sew when the lights are off and I can't stare at a tree for more than about 10 minutes without getting bored and b)impossible to photograph - with the flash (left) you get the garishness of the room and without (right) you just get some bits of light. Oh well!
