We're dreaming of a purple Christmas

Remember the jacaranda trees? Remember how many millions of purple flowers there were on each tree? Now all those purple flowers are making their way to the ground, and they look really cool (except on the sidewalks where they get trampled and turn brown). Underneath each tree looks like a little purple-snow globe scene. Who needs snow for Christmas!?! Instead of reindeer and snow, we have kangaroos and jacaranda flowers!! And I hear snow is harder to shovel. (...sorry, I know I shouldn't rub it in...)
