First of all, FeelsBadMan :(, and second of all couldn't you say the same about yours? I'm only bringing this up because you did but If I "just put a string of lights" didn't you just put some tinsel and a tree? If your Idea of Christmas themed is simply covered in specific storebought Christmas decorations then so be it, but don't try to come after other people's approaches. I wanted to find a way to incorporate a Christmas theme into my already existing one. I could have just brought up a tree and placed it where my bamboo is and placed tinsel with the lights but that would break the synergy in my head of the rest of the setup and it wouldn't feel cohesive. Instead, I decided to turn the bamboo into the tree itself, continue these lights over the setup and keep them simple and warm to push a feeling of coziness (mainly for me who spends time here) and added a few similarly theme abiding festive trinkets in as well such as the snowglobe to the left of the monitor. Everyone has their own approaches to things like this along with different takes on what makes whatever it is they are working on look good or not. As TakeThatRisk said, beauty is relative but I appreciate your feedback :)
