This ain't no Charlie Brown Christmas Tree!

We went to check out the Hongqaio Flower and Bird Market.  We had heard you can get all of your Christmas decorations (including your tree) under one roof, plus pick up a random pet if you want.  (Weird combination, but whatever).  We found our Christmas tree and all of the decorations.  My mom bargained with the locals to get all of it for $45 USD.  Again, she felt quite proud of herself!  We also saw lots of cool animals - birds, dogs, cats, turtles, jellyfish and snakes.  We also saw chickens but I don't think were for sale as pets.  Regardless, we had fun putting up our new tree!
