It's that time of the year again. . . Though there's no snow down here, and likely never to be any, Christmas started rearing its commercial head a couple of weeks before Halloween down here. Christmas stores started sprouting up in the towns, and lights and other decorations at houses along the way soon followed. At first, we were scratching our heads, wondering what the sam hill was going on. Here at Tree Houses, we were going to wait until we got back from our trip in early December to decorate the place, as we didn't want to jump the gun. Then we started thinking with the herd: Hey, if everyone else is doing it, why can't we? After all, Thanksgiving is an American holiday and isn't celebrated down here. We're so ingrained in our thinking that it's jumping the gun to put up stuff before Thanksgiving. But no Thanksgiving on the calendar, no problem. Hence, we now have some Christmas decorations up and running here at the hotel. We've always liked doing the Christmas decorations, and since we've been in Hawaii the past eight holiday seasons, the lack of cold weather (previous exceptions noted with the cold weenies in the earlier entry), we figured let's get on board. So now we have some lights and some pine decorations up and going here at the hotel. Feliz Navidad!Which brings to mind another question:
When should you put up your Christmas decorations?
