Xmas comes early in Hong Kong. With no Thanksgiving to compete with, retailers in HK have put away the pumpkins and spooky decorations and rolled out the XMas tidings. Here is a photo from Starbucks today (November 7th) where I'm drinking from a red holiday cup and pre-ordering my Christmas tree, shipped fresh from the US. Nat King Cole might have been playing over the sound system.....Lizzie called the 'tree lot' to confirm our order and was met with a friendly but choppy "You want 6-foot or 8-foot?! Noble fir or Douglas fir?! You tell me!?"

Wow! You're importing a tree? How shi-shi. (sp?) I'm not sure if I'd bother. Well hey, they provide the service. So crazy. Do they cater to Americans in every country like this????
Tony is insisting we should ship you a tree from 'woodsy' California. Cause it will be so FRESH by the time it gets there...
