Christmas tree sale

Is it really December? I don’t feel December’s already started. I feel like I stay in summer vacation, ‘cause I wear still short-sleeved shirts and short. At the Starmarket near by, Christmas tree sale has started on 1st Dec. The parking is filled with good smell of tree. There are various sizes of trees. After passing check desk, guys help to adjust the tree into the favorable shape with saw. And the tree is wrapped with net by special machine. A series of works looks like the operation at fish market in Japan. Great! In Japan, December is explained with combined two Chinese characters, each of which has meaning of “master” and “run”. It’s because people are so busy to prepare the end of year and start of New Year, and then not only labors, even master also need to work hard. But, such a word would be never created here, in Hawaii. We don’t need to hurry up here.
