When it comes to sad looking Christmas trees, Charlie Brown's got nothing on us. We had decided that we weren't going to bother with putting up a tree since we're going back to the US for Christmas, but anyone who knows me knows that I can't pass up a bargain. The school was selling trees for 120 yuan ($15) at their Christmas bazaar. It wouldn't fit in our van so we had to pay some guy another 10 yuan to haul it to our house on his bicycle (actually it was a flat bed, three-wheeler). So we got a live tree, with a pot and delivered for about $16. But then, it looks like a sixteen-dollar tree.
