Those of us who participate in the live Christmas tree tradition now have a dilemma. What the heck should we do with this tree? Our decorations have been down for days now, but the tree still stands. I haven't watered it in a few days, so it'll be nice and dry soon.
In years past, our city has sent out a truck to pick up the trees. I called the other day to find out if they would do this again, and the answer I got was somewhat surprising. Here's the conversation:
Me: Will the trash collectors be picking up Christmas trees?
City Employee (CE): No! Please hold.
CE: (Rudely) The trash collectors have never picked up Christmas trees, and they never will.
Me: Okay.
CE: In the past, we have come around and collected trees, but we haven't heard if we're going to do that this year.
Me: Okay.
CE: You could always put your tree in your front yard, and if no one picks it up you'll know.
Because apparently we live in White-trash-ville.

SO funny! And true, as I am watching my husband search on SOLID WASTE and ORGANIC WASTE on our town's web site.
Nothing about trees in either category, in case you were wondering.
That is a dilema! At least you have your decorations down...mine are still up!
