It’s almost Christmas! Look busy.
We asked our ever-cynical readers to share their most underwhelming images of the season so far. From limp trees to misguided toilet decorations, the responses were as disappointing as we had hoped.
Here’s a selection of our favourite contributions. We’re going to keep the assignment open over Christmas, so please do keep sending in your own average moments from the most magical time of the year.

sad
Even the works Christmas tree was fed up.
It's Christmas. Aren't we all half-lit?
Getting the lights all the way to the top of the tree just seemed a little too much to ask this year. Just stand real close and don't look up; it's perfect.
Underwhelming tree
Our four year old daughter chose and decorated the tree this year. Utterly unaware it's pathetic
Sad tree
Most pathetic attempt at an office Christmas tree I've ever seen. Not even a bauble in sight.
