Some of you had asked for a follow up on our Christmas tree buying experience and how well the tree faired during the holidays. Well, for about the first two weeks, it actually looked pretty good. That took it through about December 14.
But almost overnight, like Santa sliding down a dirty chimney, the poor thing turned brown (even with daily feedings of agua).
Keep in mind, we had the 6 foot noble on our patio. It was a good thing. Had it been in the house, it was so dry by December 20th, we would have had to take it down. By December 25th, the branches were sagging so severely, two ornaments slid off and crashed onto the floor.
And on December 26th, our first experiment with a Mexican Christmas tree came to an end. It didn't live to see the New Year (truth be told, it didn't live to see Christmas Eve). Anyway, we hauled the brown carcass out of here, loaded it onto the elevator, to the main floor, where condominium workers hauled it away. We still think of it almost daily, though. That's because we're still finding brown needles, not just in our unit, but all the way through the lobby and garage where apparently, it was picked up by the garbage trucks for an unceremonious dumping at the Puerto Vallarta landfill.
