How is Sideshow Bob?

What, you don't remember him? He was the pre-lit palm tree we bought as our Christmas tree last year. Well, he was pretty hard to set up, so we decided to leave him be for the summer and spark up his world with red hot chilli pepper lights.

Woohoo! Yes, we kept the sand like burlap beneath him as well and Sideshow Bob [because that's who he resembles] kept us feeling like it was summer at the beach.

Unfortunately, yesterday the heat officially ended. It snowed. Brrr! So we turned his lights on last night and it was time to give him another look. Before Thanksgiving, we'll put some ornaments on him, and viola, Sideshow Bob will be ready for winter and the holidays!
