I have a few last comments on my first Xmas experience in the States.
Us Bouwers have copied the rest of Miami and had a beautiful Xmas tree in our apartment, compliments of good friends. But I tell you, it's a love-hate relationship with this tree.
You spend half a morning decorating the thing, it fulls your house with a wonderful frangrance, makes the house look warm and full - you actually grow attached to the tree. Ten days later it dies and you have to get rid of it.
All over Miami I see dead trees by the side of the road, like mob hits!
A car suddenly slows down, a door opens and a tree rolls out. No one says a word. Life goes on. People snap out of the Xmas season like from a dream. "There's a tree inside the house! Throw it out!"
