Living in a place where the sun is shining year round has some distinct advantages, but unfortunately lacks the luster of a good snowfall at Christmastime. My wife has lamented on several occasions about our barren tree in the front yard with no leaves and no decorations unlike the rest of our lit up yard. But our 6-year-old came up with a solution.
As we were driving around looking at Christmas lights a few weeks ago, we saw the many colorful, amazing displays. In the midst of this, we passed by a house that had apparently just been TP'ed that night or the night before. After passing the house, our extremely thoughtful 6 year-old, as matter-of-fact as can be, said:
"I just got an idea from the house back there. Let's get a bunch of toilet paper and we will just throw it over our tree. And then we can just leave it up for the rest of Christmas."
I have a feeling he is a mere 8-10 years away from spreading such "Christmas cheer" year-round!
