Yes, leave it to the
Brazilians to take a fun holiday like Christmas and make it even funner…um, funnierer, funn…oh
never mind. Rio may be lacking in Douglas Firs, but that doesn’t stop the Brazilians from making a tree themselves and
then floating the tree out on a barge creating a Christmas float that lives up to its name. This has been going on for
10 years now, and folks in the know say that the Rio Christmas Tree float is the world’s largest. Whether that’s true
or not, I have no idea, but I wouldn’t mind if my editors sent me down to Rio to find out.
