I spent the day unloading Christmas trees. Tomorrow we will begin flocking trees. For those of you who actually get Winter and have no clue what a flocked tree is: Flocking is a cellulose based product that is sprayed onto trees to simulate snow. It acts as a fire retardent and preservative and makes the tree all "snowy white" unless somebody puts dye into the mix and then you get pink or blue Christmas trees.

If you think that is bad one of the managers demonstrated a blue tree with air brush and stencil to make star of David.....Instant Hannukka Tree. My personal favorite was an orange tree with air brushed yellow stripes.

My personal fave was the edible version. Spruce it up for the holidays, then eat it when the day finally arrives

People down here are so freaked out about frozen rain, hail, and snow that they immediately close all schools and businesses. I don't even think they know what boots are.. [img]graemlins/director.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/idontwanna.gif[/img]

I actually wanted to write a post like this yesterday.
It's really weird how Christmas seems to come earlier every year. Shops started decorating already a week or even more ago. And it's not even December... There's a month and a half to go till Christmas! I really don't understand why they have to start so early... Okay in the begining of December, but begining of November?! That's just crazy! Every time I go to the shops I see all of that and get nervous because I think I need to shop and that I'm already too late... The only thing this has done to me is that I am already sick of Christmas! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Is anybody else annoyed by all these early decorations? [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

Not in America, Halloween is October 31st, Thanksgiving is the last Thursday in November.[/QUOTE]And in Canada thanksgiving is "celebrated" on the 2nd Monday in October although we´re not celebrating the same things. But let´s not get lost in semantics.

BTW LoA how many cases of Royal C should I be sending you for christmas?

Striped Christmas trees? [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]

I have a nice 5ft fir, artificial and so much easier to take care of! That, and my cat can climb it, knock it over and chew on it and the worst I've had to do is put a few branches back in their little sockets and re-hang an unbreakable ornament! [img]smile.gif[/img]
