Christmas in Asia

There are Christmas trees decorated and lights up all around town. Especially when you go the more tourist-geared places or even western places you see that Christmas is coming. I even saw a sign on a store window that said "Christmas Sale."
I was given a 2ft fake tree by a friend here. You can buy trees, fake and real (just potted) but they are a bit pricey. We are pretty sure we're only this school year so it wouldn't make sense to spend all that money on something we'll use for one year.
I'm excited that we have a tree! I was able to buy decorations for the tree and the home at my local flower and craft market. They have an entire floor of Christmas shops. And the prices are very good. I even got a few ornaments that I really love on sale!
