Tidy Christmas tree erected? (6,2)
I believe the answer is:
spruce up
'tidy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'christmas tree erected?' is the wordplay.
'christmas tree' becomes 'spruce' (I've seen this before).
'erected?' becomes 'up'.
'spruce'+'up'='SPRUCE UP'
(Other definitions for spruce up that I've seen before include "Make smarter" , "Titivate" , "Become smart" , "groom" .)
