I have to laugh when I go to the mall. First of all it is hot outside and there are absolutely no pine trees to be seen. Then I come into the mall and see evergreen Christmas trees for sale. Why do Filipinos want evergreens? You can see how other cultures are being adopted.
However, I also laugh because in the middle of a huge display of red and white moving electric Santas, wreaths and evergreen Christmas trees stands the true tropical tree: The palm tree.
Yes, folks, these here are the photos I just took an hour ago of the lighted orange palm Filipino version of a Christmas tree. Amid the blaring holiday tunes and noisy chatter below stands the glorious gaudy palm in all its glory. Anyone? Going once? Going twice?
