casinyeam If You Can See the Tree, There Is Room for More Decorations

If you’ve tired of sad beige holidayscasinyeam, with Christmas decorations stuck in muted neutral tones and minimalist greenery, it might be time to give maximalism a try.

That’s what Sophie Erazo did this year. Inspired by a photo she found on Pinterest, Ms. Erazo, 26, said she bought a new, fake Christmas tree and covered it with “funky ornaments” and handmade velvet bows to bring her festive vision to life. She described her tree as an “Anthropologie dupe” — a nod to the clothing and home goods store known for its bright colors, rich textiles and generally not-subtle aesthetic.

“I just had a baby this year, so I’m definitely in the Christmas spirit,” said Ms. Erazo, who owns a salon in Delaware. “I want to give the magical, almost nostalgic, Christmas vibes to my son.”

She’s not the only one. Plenty of people are going all out this December, many motivated, like Ms. Erazo, by social media content.

Also shot was Gregory Delpeche, a 49-year-old hospital administrator who was on his way to work and in an adjacent car when officers firing struck him in the head. He was in critical condition. A 26-year-old woman was grazed by a bullet, the police said. The Brooklyn district attorney’s office is investigating the actions of the officers.

The day after the tsunami hit, Hiroko Tabuchi, then a reporter for the Business desk of The New York Times, pleaded with her editor. “I remember crying on the phone with her, saying ‘Please let me go to the tsunami zone,’” Ms. Tabuchi said in an interview.
