Christmas ?

I spent a lovely afternoon shopping with Tracey. We trawled some of the unique little shops that the Woodlands had to offer and all was going well, until we came across this. Not only is it about 3 months premature but it's also quite hideous. It had fake snow (polystyrene balls) that come shooting out of the top of it, they are then caught in a pit at the bottom before being sucked back up the trunk ready to be spat out again. Why ?

Apologies to Tracey, I suspect that she may actually have liked this monstrosity !
