First, I'd have to find something to use as a screen. Living as I do in the middle of nowhere, this is problematic. Plan two would involve actually going out and purchasing a tree and lights and ornaments to put on the tree, and then setting it up. And, sadly, the only lights in this office tend to be sort of all or nothing .... dark and gloomy, or bright as all get out.
The video conference will be at 1:00 in the afternoon my time, and unless I go so far as to cover up the window, I think it would be best just to get the damn bookcases done and get the place clean and "staged." I should be able to tell how much I need to do just by seeing what will actually be seen from the camera. If I have to leave a lot of stuff on the floor, that will likely be ok.
Heh .... I just thought about how I would explain to my clients why I had a Christmas tree in my office. I think they would suspect that something was very very wrong.
