How much are you into decorating the house when there's something to celebrate?

A natural way to answer

I'd say I strike a middle ground. I don't go overboard, but I do think a few decorations set the tone for the whole occasion. A bit of effort makes the place feel warm and intentional rather than just an ordinary day.

Key phrases to use

• string up — to hang something (like lights or decorations) along a line or wall“We strung up fairy lights across the garden.”
• set the tone — to establish the mood or atmosphere of something“Soft music sets the tone for the evening.”
• go overboard — to do something to an excessive degree“I always go overboard with the decorations.”
