Can't Post |

Will there be real cut Xmas trees for sale in Cancun, like there is in the Chapala area?

I can't imagine why not. We have them here in Merida. They start selling them about now. I have never bought one because I am sure that they will be nothing but sticks by Christmas, and they are very expensive. Most people make do with fake trees or like me, no tree. You live in the land of Christmas trees and I do miss them. From a former B.C. resident.

I read an article this morning which stated that Christmas tree imports from the US were down 40% because of the retaliatory duties imposed when the US dumped on the Mexican truckers by not following the terms of NAFTA.

Costco had them for about a week and now they are all gone. They went quickly. It also looked like there were fewer than last year to start off with.
