I went to Home Depot this morning to buy new switch plates for the kitchen and there were tons of people out buying Christmas trees.
Many of them wearing shorts and flip flops.

That's just unnatural :) But to each his own!
Some of the northern transplants on the desk were tlaking this week, saying "Christmas just isn't the same with Santa in shorts and lights in palm trees. You have to have snow." Nope. You don't.
I've always found it weird that we clamor for fir trees and sing snow songs, when none of that happens in Florida. OK, it has snowed in N. Florida, but that's rare.
I love it! I mean, it's unnatural and weird on some levels because I came to work today in a wool peacoat and I'll likely wake up to an inch or more of snow ... but I love it.
I need to go buy a tree, actually. My ex-husband wouldn't let us ever get a real tree, so I think I'm going to go buy a Charlie Brown real tree. :)
I don't need it to snow on Christmas (it rarely does here), but I need it to be cold. On some recent Christmases, it's gotten up into the 50s. That's just crazy business! But I suppose it's weird to warm-climate people that it's cold on Christmas in other places.
Yep, that is just the way it is here. I like that I can go down the the beach on Christmas day and take a walk. Sure, it isn't snowing, but that sea breeze can get a little chilly.
I might even have to bring a sweatshirt.
Jacque,
What is it with husbands who don't let us get real trees?
My ex went out one year and bought a fake tree. After that, no more real trees.
I still have that fake tree, too. It's in a box and I have not used it the past couple Christmases since he has been gone.
OK, I didn't get a real tree either. But that is mostly because I am not usually home on Christmas and I don't do the gift thing with the family. A tree with nothing under it on Christams morning looks kind of sad.
What is it with the idea that your husbands don't "allow" you to do something? If you want it, go do it.
I have the feeling that's a big part of how they became "exes."
Jim,
It was more a matter, for me anyway, of picking my battles.
Not to imply that there was a lot of fighting.
But in the end it really was just a tree.
And there were more important things to want to get my way on.
Totally!
