Tree shortage in Miami?

Last minute shoppers appear to be having trouble finding a Christmas tree.  Most tree sellers in Miami-Dade say they sold out as long ago as last week. A spokesman for the National Christmas Tree Association says that might not be a bad thing.  Rick Dungey, whose group keeps track of tree selling trends, says, "Maybe the retail lots are just getting better at knowing how many trees to order."
 

           Out On A Limb

They can do without the winter
can live without the snow;
warm weather won't diminish
Santa's ho-ho-ho.

The people on the mainland
and on each and every Key
have everything that's on their list
except a Christmas tree.
