McDonald's took their Christmas tree down this week.
Christmas decorations, from the tacky to the pristine, are erected during the first week of December. Most stay until Sollee, lunar New Year. The lavish decorations are matched by the New Year presents that adorn tables in every store. Gifts wrapped for this special occasion include everything from toilet paper to dried fish, mouthwash to underwear. I applaud the Koreans for their practicality in gift giving!
But, McDonald's is a multinational corporation with it's own holiday schedule. Christmas is down. Valentines' Day is up. I can't wait to see the St. Patrick's Day decorations--in Korea.
