November 8, 2008


Here in Honduras the next holiday is Christmas. They don't celebrate thanksgivings here - don't understand why????

We went into Diunsa (kind of the Honduras equivalent of a cross between Walmart and Target) last week and they had Christmas decorations EVERYWHERE. No exaggeration, they had at least 50 artificial Christmas trees of many different varieties put together and on display with many of them decorated. Since it is illegal to cut down your own tree here - as best we can understand - and following our philosophy of - if the store has what you want and you plan on buying sometime in the near future your better go ahead and get now. Because when you come back to buy it later it may be gone and there is no guarantee they will ever have another one. So, we are now the proud owners of a low cost artificial Christmas tree. Seems a little odd putting up your Christmas and sweating. Cindy did all the decorating.
