Now that Thanksgiving is over it is time for the King Salmon annual Christmas decorating contest. There is a business division and a residential division. Last years winner in the business division was the post office. This is serious business. I went to get the mail yesterday and both people who run the office were busy as beavers hanging wreaths in all the windows. There are glittering snowflakes hanging from the ceiling. Lots of them. There was a huge Santa in the corner. They had hung twinkling stars around the poles outside. This was all done by eleven am. I am sure they are not finished yet.
Today I am going to a Christmas card making party. I hear this is an annual event that is huge with all the women in town. I even got an email on how it all works as you had to sign up for this ahead of time. I have not seen other decorations going up yet but I am interested in seeing what evolves. I haven't seen anyone with Christmas trees for sale like you would see everywhere in the lower 48 but then again we are surrounded by spruce trees. I, myself, just don't feel right about cutting down a spruce tree as the growing season is so short and it takes forever for the trees to grow.
I have hung some lights around my window and I have a small artificial tree in the corner. I usually go all out for Christmas that I could, maybe, be in the running for residential leader but all of my decorations are in the lower 48 with my husband. So I guess I will be just an observer this year. But next year.....
