The Christmas Tree

My coworker Koshik and I first encountered each other as an associate and customer back in little after when last Christmas season was ended.
One big Indian guy with gray, white hair came to the register with a cute little Christmas tree to buy. I was wondering why he was trying to buy it after everything was done, but soon, I realized it was super cheap price and he said it was for the next year.
After a long six months...
In the middle of June, I saw Koshik wearing Macy's all black dress code, standing by the register at Macy's for the first time since then.
I guess I didn't know he was working in here. 
I asked him about that Christmas tree, whether if he still carries it in his house or something and my guess was right.
The tree is safely saved (-I guess) at the backside of his house.
I told him, "Well, you only have three? four? months to go. Good for you!" (Well, I guess by the time I said that, maybe I thought there were 10 months in one year, instead of 12, duh!)
The guy, who plans and prepares for Christmas.. Not just for several weeks, but A YEAR HEAD OF THE TIME. lol
When I think of that little (and maybe poor..?) Christmas tree stuck SOMEWHERE in the DARK at Koshik's house..., standing by itself, waiting for Christmas to come, his owner (inevitably) Koshik (...!!), I get to laugh so hard. But at the same time, I sympathize for that tree.
