A couple years ago, it was really good. It had no X-mas ornaments on it at all. All lab paraphernalia. I took pictures and when I got them back, I found I had black and white film in the camera instead of color. Drat!
 

nice tree, but even cooler, nice lab! So clean! I'm a big fan of a tidy lab.

I used to work the front desk for a data cabling company. One year, the boss/owner and I made a Christmas tree for the office out of scraps from the shop. We took a piece of 2" PVC pipe about six feet long and set it down into an empty cable reel, then made the 'tree' out of green data cable, stringing it from the top of the pipe to the outside edge of the cable reel. We used red electrical tape to fasten the cable pieces at the top and bottom. Then we taped on obsoleted, multicolored Panduit receptacles up and down the strands of cable. Can't recall what we used for the star, but I'm sure it was 'industry standard,' whatever it was.

I wish I had a picture of it -- it was quite entertaining.

I really hadn't thought about trees being decorated with anything but the usual until this dept used lab items about 3 years ago, and now it's a tradition - It is funny to hear that your company fixed their tree differently, too. It would have been neat to see.
