You are right. Christmas Trees are NOT a necessity, but do brighten up the environment.
However, in times when money is tight(like now) you have to prioritise the work being done at premium rates...which is quite plainly what is not being done.

I am not complaining or whinging...and had you not brought up the subject, would have quietly kept these thoughts to myself...but I am sure that if I am thnking them, then others are too.
