Disposing of a Christmas tree is like disposing a body. You wrap it up in some big garbage bags and toss it in the dumpsters…or as people do, leave it on the sidewalk so that hoodlums can light it on fire.

I have to say though, that as I was disposing of our little guy, a little tear came to my eye. Seems so wasteful. Such a short life for an even shorter purpose. And though he served his purpose, I felt extremely guilty for robbing nature of such a wonderful tree. Farewell, Doug.
