Parent Teacher AssociationHello I'm Jody and welcome to American Cafe.
You know, Christmas is just around the corner and I am already starting to feel Christmas all around me.
No, no! I ignore all of that stuff. No, what I mean, is I'm starting to hear and smell Christmas. OK, Close your eyes, Yang Chen, and think about Christmas and tell me what you hear and smell.
Yang Chen? Yang Chen, anything yet? You know people are waiting.
That's okay. But I was thinking more like ... chainsaws.
Well, I know it's not romantic, but I love the sound of a chainsaw and the smell of a pine tree being cut. The Christmas tree tradition is one of the best things about Christmas.
Right, pine tree.
Oh, no no-no. You don't go to a forest to cut down your Christmas tree. There are Christmas tree farms.
Oh, that's me.
Not perfume! I have just come from a Christmas tree sale in my neighborhood.
I did. And it was wonderfully entertaining. The elementary school held a Christmas tree sale to raise money. And there I met a woman named Ann, who is not only the organizer of the sale but she is also very active in the elementary school with the Parent Teacher Association, also known as the PTA.
We have from Charlie Brown trees to big beautiful balsam firs And we have a range of prices. And we do this to support the school PTA and it pays for supplies and trips and things like that for the children. And, um, so we do it two days over the weekend, Saturday and Sunday, and hopefully raise some money. And also just build a lot of good feelings about the school inside the community.
