Christmas Warm Climate Decorations Ideas

From Saginaw, Texas to Saginaw, Michigan for Holiday Warm Climate Decorations

Michael Thompson
Christmas warm climate decoration ideas? You're at the beach with the kids and they're making sand castles by the shoreline. It's December 23rd. Hey, how about constructing a sand Christmas tree instead?

That's most definitely a temporary Christmas warm climate decorations idea, but following are five that will definitely last longer.

(Note to Readers: When your author refers to "we," forgive your author for imagining a warm climate Christmas. It's already starting to get ch-ch-ch-chilly up here in Saginaw, Michigan. So for the purpose of this informative report on Christmas in a warm climate, Associated Content has paid my air fare to Saginaw, Texas .... yeah, right!)

(1) As we prepare for our warm climate Christmas, relatives and friends from northern climes keep sending us Christmas cards here in Saginaw, Texas. These Christmas cards feature snowflakes and snowmen and Santa on his sleigh, like they're trying to make us jealous. Well, we have an answer. We are going to answer them with warm climate Christmas decorations cards. Let's just steal a small cup of that sand from our public beach. They won't arrest us for that, will they? With some construction paper and children's glue and a thin coating of sand, the kids can make warm climate Christmas decorations cards that feature sandy brown trees and wreaths and reindeer, whatever their little hearts desire. And we'll put these cards in the mail, in return. Here's back atcha, our northern friends.

(Note to Readers: A website states, "Saginaw, TX climate is hot during summer, when temperatures tend to be in the 80s, and cold during winter, when temperatures tend to be in the 40s." The 40s? Cold in winter, the 40s? Gimme a break!)

(2) Even though we are celebrating a warm climate Christmas, do we really want to haul a whole cactus into our living room to display a cactus Christmas tree? This could be a prickly task. Instead, let's order a neat little cactus ornament online from the Christmas Decorations & Gifts Store in Houston. It's only 5 inches tall, but it's also only $6.25, and it's really cute.

(Note to Readers: Saginaw, Texas, actually is named after Saginaw, Michigan. Forgive me for feeling somewhat smug.)

(3) So, we have decided here in Saginaw, Texas, against going all "southwestern" and putting a cactus in our living room for a warm climate Christmas. How about importing a nice real tree from up north, near our neighbors in Saginaw, Michigan? Their economy and their unemployment in Michigan is totally in the tank, and they could tremendously benefit from some foreign trade. Okay, Texas is not really a foreign country, it's just that this goofy Governor Rick Perry keeps talking about seceding from the union. But up in Armada, Michigan, Blake Farms will send us a splendid natural tree. The white pine, in fact, is great for adapting to our warmer weather down here.

(Note to Readers: Sperlings Best Places states, "As of 2009, the population of Saginaw, Texas, is 19,655 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of 51.44 percent." This is sort of different than Saginaw, Michigan, where since 2000, the population has declined by more than 10 percent. Sperling's also states, "The unemployment rate in Saginaw, Texas, is 6.7 percent." In Saginaw, Michigan, the unemployment rate is more than 25 percent. Talk about a warmer place in comparison!)

(4) Interlude: No words could adequately describe Christmas warm climate decorations in Aruba. Since we're already on the web, just look HERE! Need we say more about Christmas warm climate decorating ideas?

(Note to Readers: Not many folks in Saginaw, Michigan, will have money to vacation in Aruba these days.)

(5) Back here in Saginaw, Texas, we've finally received our white pine by shipment from Blake Farms in Armada, Michigan, which is sort of near Saginaw, Michigan. Are we gonna spray that stupid white powder on it, to make it look like somehow snow has fallen on our tree? Heck, no. We're celebrating a warm climate Christmas. We're gonna decorate our beautiful green Christmas tree with fishing lures and sea shells and all sorts of Southern stuff, and folks up north can turn green with envy!

(Note to Readers: Will Associated Content pay to fly me back to Saginaw, Michigan, from Saginaw, Texas? Wait. I might not want to go back!)
