I’ve heard it said, Dragonfly, that the Big Island is one of the few places in the world where you can play in mountaintop snow and swim in the ocean on the same day. The year-round average ocean temp is about 80 degrees F, regardless of what’s going on at high altitude.

How cool is that to have both tropical and winter weather at the same time.

You’d be right, bluepaintred! Last year I was NOT in a holiday mood early enough. I tried to find a tree the second week of December and there were very few to choose from. They were scraggly leftovers and the prices started at $65.00. I’m hoping the Ag Dept. Will have enough trees cleared by this weekend for it not to be a mad crush to get one. A lot of folks either won’t have one at all or will go for an artificial one. I figure if it’s not real it’s not a Christmas tree, but to each his own. I’m hoping to get a small, tabletop one (three feet at most) for $35-40 as I have in years past.

I would assume that becuase everything has to be shipped from the mainland, things like trees and what not would be outrageous expensive. Do many people in Hawaii use artificial trees to overcome that?
