It\u2019s SO Christmassy at QVC; I haven\u2019t counted the number of decorated trees up around the building but there are many, everywhere you look, including TEN in the corridor outside our staff canteen, one by the bin backstage, loads in the studios&#8230; I could go on, but instead here a few photos to illustrate my point!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Christmas-trees-at-work-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-90613 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Christmas-trees-at-work-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Christmas-trees-at-work-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-90614 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Christmas-trees-at-work-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Christmas-trees-at-work.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-90611 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Christmas-trees-at-work.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m fortunate to have Christmas itself off this year but I\u2019ll be back in work from the 28th and working right through New Year.
