The proper way to discard a Christmas tree.

Not sure if this is PC, but I found it on the net.

1. That's funny. But since you bring up the subject of discarding trees

Old Christmas Trees Can Build New Dunes

From Jan-5-2017

ATLANTIC BEACH — The holidays may be over but that evergreen tree that symbolized the season can now be put to a new use, improving the health of the dune system on a nearby beach.

Natural Christmas trees with all decorations and lighting removed are being collected now through Jan. 22 in both parking lots at Fort Macon State Park, 2303 East Fort Macon Road. The state park began collecting trees this season on Dec. 26.

Several beach towns along the North Carolina coast also collect trees for use in rebuilding dunes, but not all coastal communities or state parks accept trees, so if your community isn’t listed below, be sure to check before hauling off the tannenbaum.

Have you never seen a Hitchcock movie?

What happens next is:
5. Man who has just killed his wife and is wondering where to dump her body sees you.
6. He swaps out your tree for his corpse late at night when no one is watching.
7. You are sitting under a bright light at police HQ trying convince them that you had put a Christmas tree in the dumpster as a joke and you have never even seen that woman....................

4. I was just wondering what would happen if we all discarded our trees this way?

6. Cops would never buy it

3. I'm thinking it would be hilarious to do, but then the finger-wagging starts...

the the Chief of Police and various serious politicians come out and yak on about wasting resources and how its bad taste and all...

No sense of humor.

5. I cut up the tree and use it for (aromatic) kindling for next years fires.

... at least it gets some more use.

My mom is the one who likes the trees. Personally I would prefer to watch one growing than one dying in your living room.

8. I had (for a kid) a horrible birthday

December 30. No one wants to think about presents or have a party after Christmas on New Year's Eve Eve.
So, to compensate a bit, my Dad (who had been happy when I was born to get that dependent tax deduction that would've been lost 48 hours later) would buy a live tree and they were always planted on my birthday. By the time they sold the house there were 14 of them serving as the boundary on the back of the lot.

I can still ride by there when I am back in my old hometown and see these 50 foot tall cedars and pines, only two of which expired over the years.

9. What a great idea your dad had!

A gift that continues to give.
