We keep our tree up until MLK weekend. Hard to find recycling services by that date but we manage.
What on earth did Decatur do with Christmas trees before city recycling?
We kids went around and collected as many as we could and built Christmas tree forts. When we were tired of playing in them or they became too dry and prickly, we burned them. What a fire!
