A friend and I are debating when most people buy their xmas trees.

I saw that it's several days or more before Christmas eve, and the
proof of this is that is what I do. And that tree lots open up about
2 weeks in advance.

She says, No, the custom is Xmas eve and the great majority buy that
afternoon. And the proof is that is what she does.

What can you tell us about this?


The best time to buy a Christmas tree is after Christmas when there is a clearance sale. You can store it away until next Christmas. ?(•?•)?

One of the managers in our office bought Poinsettias for all the admin
assistants. Some kept them by their desks, others took them home,
including the admin for my team.

As a replacement, I printed out a picture of a Poinsettia, rolled the
paper into a tube and taped it to the top of her cubicle wall. I
overheard someone jokingly say that they hoped it lived through the
Christmas holiday. I solved that issue by printing out a picture of a
watering can and taping it next to the picture of the Poinsettia.

Someone gave me a Poinsettia once, maybe right after Xmas. She told
me if I took it outside in the cold weather it would die, but she was
throwing it away if I didn't take it, and I had no way to get home but
to walk 4 blocks or so. She was right. It died. Maybe if she'd
given me a paper room heater it would have been okay.
