Aloha Kakou:
The first shipment of refrigerated containers bearing fresh Christmas trees arrived in Hawaii today.
Yes, it isn't even Thanksgiving yet! But if you are celebrating Christmas mainland-style, now's the time to hele on down to your favorite Christmas tree stand.
If you prefer to do things more local, you can either:
1. get an artificial tree. You can leave that one up all year, and it never dries out!
or
2. get a live Norfolk Pine. That way, once Christmas is over, you can plant it in your yard and enjoy it for a long time.
or
3. do what we do and head Upcountry to Kula Botanical Gardens the Saturday after Thanksgiving. They are the only Christmas tree farm on Maui. While freshly cut Monterey Pines are your only choice of tree, Auntie Helen and Uncle Warren do have many sizes. With a little TLC, even on Maui you can get your Christmas tree to last the entire 12 days of Christmas!
