Our eco Christmas tree is out, taken from its resting place in a box in the basement. All three segments are attached, its pre-assembled lights on, its fake frost made of transparent plastic beads dropping all over the house. Meg will take care of decorating it some time later.
The reason we put the tree up already? It felt bad that we had no visible Christmas trinkets on the house, while more and more houses in the neighborhood shine in bright lights of all colors. The next-door neighbor, who previously only had the white lights which resembled icicles hanging from his awning, now has wrapped the colored lights around the poles on his porch. It's quite bright and christmasy. Which is very weird, considering the neighbour is a devout Muslim.
