"Our aim was to create an all-enveloping magical experience that celebrates our enormous respect for tradition while recognising our excitement about the future and things to come.’ This year’s installation is suitably forward-looking with nary a bauble or thread of tinsel to be seen, instead exploring the relationship between nature and technology."

I personally detest what Christmas has become. It creeps up on us earlier and earlier every year, thanks to corporate one-upsmanship. Even the new music is an abomination, with the old crooners and carols creaking ever more with age and irrelevance.

I think Sir Jony and Marc did a splendid job with their Christmas set. Very classy and under-stated elegance. A bit of a "blank canvas" inviting visitors to fill in the blanks with their own imaginings. That's what art should be and do for people.
