When Do You Toss Out Your Tree?

Pickup today. Tree go bye-bye.

Our tree came down yesterday. Even with the LED lighting on it, that tree was really dead. Happily, no major piles of needles to sweep up.

City is picking it up today and mulching it.

The tree, the outdoor lights and all the other accompaniments stay up for the full twelve days of Christmas. We have a nativity scene that keeps the clock. The baby Jesus shows up on Christmas morning. The wise men also show up Christmas day but are placed in a back room. For each day of Christmas my wife (seriously, you did not think this was my doing right?) moves the wise men a bit closer so that they "arrive" on Epiphany.

After that the outside lights go dark and the tree comes down at the first opportunity.

So today's the day the Mohel shows up, right?

Oh, wait. Can I rephrase that first sentence?

Circumcision is religious, and I'm not sure how much more serious it can get than wiener-cutting.

LOL

I am so glad it isn't a part of my religion. I know it is a 'tender' subject but I had no doubt about having it performed on my boys. The most grief I had was from my mother in law.

But, she also tried to get me to name my daughter 'Juliette'. If you know my name, you know that would have been horrible for my daughter.

Sorry to make light of a religious ceremony. Yep, can't get more seroius except if it is done accidentally. Or in anger?

I've always wanted to be a Mohel. The pay is is bad, but the tips are great!

I remember the tree staying up until January 6th -- Three Kings Day.
