I know it's hard to believe coming from a total "holiday fanatic" such as me... but it really felt like it was time to say sayonara to Christmas this year. Maybe it was because we had such a full and satisfying season, complete with a quick visit to family in Oregon. Or maybe it was because our tree was literally crispy it was so dead when we got back. Orrr maybe it's because we had our annual "saying goodbye to Christmas" ritual (ha), where we layed to rest our sweet tree that was responsible for a monthful of beautiful moments and literally held so many memories- old and new. Well, we really just walked our tree to the giant dumpster on our trail to the gym- where it sat with all of its other happy tree friends, patiently awaiting the moment where they would all be ground up and used as wood chips on our beloved trail. So really, it's like the "circle of life of Christmas" around here, where we get to see and smell these joyous trees daily... holding us over til next year.

I had no idea that they chop the trees into mulch! That's so exciting and totally makes sense. How long is that dumpster there until, I want to make a donation. People keep commenting about our tree...people being my Mom and Joe.
