Signs of Christmas

In a country that doesn't have snow or the usual natural clues of Christmas, we still see the commercial clues and are surprised by the decorations that appear in stores and malls.
But last evening Tim and Lisa had a real shock  -- two real trees in the grocery store! But the shock wasn't their presence as much as their price. The small one was selling for 8,000,000 vnd (about $450 CAD) and the tall-ish one beside Lisa was 15,000,000 vnd (about $850 CAD)!!!! The tag says these are from Norway.
