Today is Thanksgiving, and it’s a day to be thankful. So
here’s something a bit timely but out of left field. Be thankful you can afford
to have a nice Christmas tree this year.
Christmas trees are scheduled to go on sale this Saturday
in Hawaii (and I think I saw a story about one lot that’s already opened).
That brings to mind TV’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” I
actually find it a bit boring in my dotage, but there’s one image that sticks
with me always. His Christmas tree. It’s become a Christmas icon representing a
Christmas full of nothing a loner gets on the holiday.
You can make your own, you know. Just get a single branch,
add a few tinsels and one or two cracked scrawngy decorations, and voila – your
Charlie Brown Christmas tree.
Or, you can drive on down to Honolulu Airport and
decorate this palm tree gracing the cell phone waiting lot.
Wouldn’t it be a hoot to find it decorated sometimes in
the coming month? I’d be thankful for that.
