Correct Cat, real ones are green, but in USA, UK and a few other places they use plastic ones that can be reused each year. I saw a Pink one in my brothers house some years ago. lol.
plastic Christmas trees here may vary from green, to white, to green tipped with white (as if it has snow) ...and its only the Christmas lights that they go crazy with...
It gets worse yet Cat, many of them are mounted on an electric pedestal, they revolve slowly and play "Tinny sounding" music. The candles flash in different colours too. Yuk, Oh for an old fasioned genuine tree.
but you can still get those real ones right? or are they being banned?
we've never had a real one here (and I don't want to really also chop one off if ever there was something available here)....aside from plastic ones, there were a couple of years I saw ones made of soap, cigarette paper (the silver one) and other kinds :-)
Understandable especially in a place where they don't normally grow. Here we normally buy one with a root, we plant them in the garden after use, hence my mini forrest. lol.
There is a slope on the Pali Highway here where there are Norfolk pine trees planted on it. Some good samaritan always dresses up the smallest tree during the Christmas holidays. Really nice!
oh dear..one can't make faceboxes in blogs...

ReplyDeletelol.
oh dear, my first time being compared to a Christmas tree...I don't know whether to laugh or cry....*wink*
ReplyDeleteseriously though...so does this mean that you reuse that tree you plant in your garden or just keep doing it every year, thereby having a mini-forest?
Yes, we use them several times until they get to big, then we buy a new one and so on.
ReplyDeletelol.
Must be a queer looking Christmas tree...LOL!!

ReplyDeletethat's a really nice headpiece you got there, ate cat. oh. wait. that's a starfish! harhar!
ReplyDeletemaybe they will genetically engineer real live pink pine trees in the future :-)
ReplyDeleteawww...ang cute naman....tropical island..tapos pine trees dressed finely :-)
ReplyDeletekitam? thats the real summer....walang starfish sa pool kaya *sticks tongue out*
ReplyDeleteteehee!
wala sa pool. and i don't need them when i'm diving! bleeeeh! hahaha!
ReplyDeleteah, mahilig ka mag diving diay?
ReplyDeletethats so cool, thats one I wish I can do (para pod makapag-pa-certificate hehe)
pero I can't do it as a hobby...too expensive yata for me...but I'd be happy to just try out a newbie dive :-)
It always remind me of the song "Little Christmas Tree" by Nat King Cole.
ReplyDeleteFirst line goes:
Little Christmas Tree
No one would buy you
Give yourself to me
pwede man, te. mag discovery scuba nya ka. dili kelangan ug certification :)
ReplyDeletekung ako yung Christmas tree, bibigay ako ng discount..yung lang..walang free these days..LOL
ReplyDeletebut aren't these expensive in Cebu or Mactan? I also have a yen to visit Siargao...but I don't think I will have the nerve for surfing....
ReplyDeleteYup, no such thing as a free meal nowadays.
ReplyDeletemay tax na ba sa air? parang meron ah..
