Tacky Christmas

Before Christmas, I was talking to one of the guys I share an office with about Christmas decorations. He said that he thought the way Americans decorate their houses for Christmas is tacky. (He's Danish.) The Swedes (and I guess most Scandinavians) definitely decorate their houses much more conservatively (candles, stars, and the occasional string of white lights).

Friday, I went out to a bar called Pepper with some of my labmates. The pictures below don't even do the place justice! It seriously looked like Santa threw up Christmas inside the bar. We were all hysterically laughing right when we walked in the door. Unfortunately, Jesper wasn't with us but Ann-Charlotte took some pictures for me to show him. In the second picture (which I had no idea I was in), the red lights on the left are little santas climbing up a ladder.
