The xmas tree is dead. Long live the xmas tree!

We finally dismantled the tree and hauled its pine needle ass out to the curb. Yay!

Well, you beat us -- ours is still here, probably on its way out on Wednesday.

We had additional time pressure... garbage/recycling/used xmas tree collection is tomorrow morning. Of course, I'd been nagging to ditch it since, oh, the day after it arrived. :-)

Heh. I had predicted that jwg would start lobbying for its demise last week, but he says he was still remembering to look at it then.

Of course, our schedule is also dictated by garbage day (a day late this week because of the "holiday").

Were there any needles left on it ? Ours was chucked out on the 5th of January or 12th Night as is traditional here in the UK. It's still outside and looks as good as the day we bought it - too bad it won't last until December !

Yup, we had stalked & killed it ourselves so it was utterly fresh when we hauled the corpse indoors in December, and kept it watered through the holidays. There were remarkably few needles on the floor after we tossed it to the curb.

We'd have chucked it earlier but last night was the first unbooked evening at home since the beginning of the year, and the last for another 10 days. *sigh*

What? After all this time you didn't save it for a half-Christmas party?

As a compromise, we'll decorate a bag of mulch instead.

Don't forget the mistletoe!
