Christmas Tree Burn
I previously wrote about a local hands-on mayor who when being informed a neighboring city offered curbside Christmas tree pickup said the following to appease his constituents. “There is a burn pile located by the YMCA that we have been piling a lot of brush at and they can drop their trees off there and we can burn them.”
Well being a man of his word, the mayor hosted the town's first annual Christmas tree burn last Saturday. I clipped this picture from the local paper.
As for me, I haven't managed to drag our Christmas tree to the curb yet. It's still sitting in our sun room, bereft of lights and ornaments, dry as an Idaho borrow pit in August. I paid nearly 75 dollars for that dang tree. I figure if I keep it through March, I can get my total cost to under a dollar per day.
