Q: will you have an Christmas Tree in China ?
Another week and we will get our plastic Tree from the ceiling space and set it up in the lounge room so everyone has to walk around it for the next 6 weeks .
How about you guys in China ?, will you get a live plant and decorate it .
For that matter , how will you decorate it?
I have been having Christmas trees and decoration and a big feast on the eve with my long time laowai friends in China for the past 10 years and I will keep doing so, the spirit of Christmas is very alive in my home every year for a month or so, I'm not willing to throw my culture away just yet.
I just buy whole pineapple fruit and decorate it similar to Bonsai-tree 
.
It's ThanksGivinG now ... always before Christmas, even on ZeroHedge:

iWolf:
Seriously? That's why you made a comment? You need to get a life.
philbravery:
good thing ecc don't do shoes. the biggest size wouldn't even fit us
Yup, going to have a big one! Right in the window!
I don't care if all the people around me don't get it or understand.
Stiggs:
Check out your neighbor's windows, you'll probably see a lot of trees set up. It seems to have become a big thing in recent years.
Yes I would, it's my tradition so why not?? The Chinese are big on tradition so they should understand.
philbravery:
tell us more. Where are you from? what are some of your traditions?
Hadn't really crossed my mind until I started following this thread. Now all of a sudden I have a strong desire (nostalgia) to set one up. Jeez,,, one of the fondest memories of my Life is listening to Christmas music and daydreaming about life and things whilst lying down beside the Christmas Tree which my dad would set-up in the family room in my boyhood home,, we had a real American middle-class style house, in a subdivision filled with such homes, complete with a wood-burning brick fireplace that the Christmas Tree stood next to. This Christmas scene would probably look like something out of Harper's Daily magazine today.
yep, I'm not ready to give up my culture either.
