I'm the one person mission to brighten up our office during the darkest part of the year.
I started with holly like tinsel (I've been asked where I got that from) and baubles along the screens dividing one group of 4 desks off from the other 17 desks last Friday lunchtime. Monday I set up my two foot high fibre optic tree on one end of my desk and decorated it with (mostly) glass baubles. Tuesday through to this lunchtime I've been putting up more holly tinsel and baubles on bookcases and shelves and on the pigeonholes etc. My colleagues reactions have been very positive (as they were in previous years when I made the effort in our old office) and a couple of visiting staff have made comments too. I'm not sure how much more decorating I should do (can't hang anything from the ceiling and have got to be careful with the security motion sensors) otherwise it would get a bit too much - then I remind myself that with the exception of the fibre optic tree I used just about everything else to go totally over the top last year when decorated our (much smaller) previous office.
The building we're in has got a real Christmas tree inside each of the entrances but other than those and my efforts I've yet to see any other signs of people decorating their workspaces.
