Christmas Trees
I once worked for a company that was the largest importer to the U.S. of Christmas stuff. In the display area they had fake 20+ foot tall trees, totally decorated. Their show room across the street had hundreds of various sized trees on display. Took up half a city block.
They had a staff that did nothing but go to stores and decorate display trees for Christmas.
They also had a contract with the PX on U.S. military bases worldwide. They had a pallet, that when delivered and the sides of the box removed, had an instant Christmas display.
For Christmas 2015, they would have been in Hong Kong shopping in Spring 2014. 18 month lead time. There's an accounting nightmare.
I was one on the few working there that wasn't Jewish. A Jewish family started the business about 1910.
