Christian Dior’s creative director, designer John Galliano is one hell of a person who actually knows a lot about design and art. He was recently asked to think of something for Claridge’s Christmas tree decoration. With Christian Dior name coming into foray, you could only expect the tree to look as outlandish as possible.

So here was a guy who thought of the tree so seriously that the resulting tree is something that is completely unbelievable. While there is no information about what the decoration or the unusual tree might mean, it does seem to me that there is a lot to interpret. Moreover, each piece of art can be interpreted thousands of ways by each individual who looks at it.

The tree seems to have a leopard on it and the existence of a wild animal on a tree as a decoration peaks loads about how ornamental animals have become. Leopards and other big cats are disappearing soon and it soon might be the day when we will not get to see a big cat ever. If you would like to take a look at the tree yourself, please do visit the Claridge’s Hotel in London.

Christmas is that time of year when even Uncle Scrooge comes off looking like a generous person. It brings out the best in everyone. Or so I thought.

This Christmas, the world views not just the best but the worst, too. As Japan dazzles us with the most expensive Christmas tree, the most pathetic version of it was uncovered in County Durham. The elite Christmas tree is on display at the Ginza Tanaka jewellery shop in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, as an audacious disregard to the recession. The shimmering 24k gold tree is adorned with 240 jewels of pearls and diamond hangings among others. Weighing at more than 21kgs, the tree is worth a staggering £1 million. On the other end of the spectrum, the Durham tree was so pathetic that that it has been called a disgrace by the residents.

Local councilor Joan Maslin is being hounded by complaints by residents who claim the tree is depressing and has been pushing people towards a foul mood instead of making them cheery. And yet, this is the season of loving and giving and singer Natasha Hamilton was glad enough to light up the tree and perform in front of it.
