Yes, really! Its not a joke. 

Wonder how long it would take to eat a tree?? https://www.permaculture.co.uk/articles/...tmas-tree/

My Christmas tree is plastic, so not going there

Now there's a thought!  Why don't the boffins get there heads together and breed a totally edible Chtistmas tree. The way Genetic Engineering is going it may not be so far fetched!

Good idea but if they did, it would probably add to the mountain of leftovers thrown away after Christmas.

PS - but not in this house, if its edible,  it gets eaten. P will eat what he's given.  It breaks my heart to see the amount get wasted.

What about if they managed to cross a giant horsetail with a cows DNA and get a ribeye steak flaoured Christmas tree?  I'd be up for that!

And you say I'm Nuts!. 

My family have all taken down their tree and decorations in a quest for tidiness . Are the younguns of today more likely  to take them down what to me seems early?

We always kept ours until the 6th January by which time the pine needles were dropping all over the floor and I inwardly cursed the thing...........but, it had to stay until the 6th whatever I thought.

^^^ quite right too! The random decs get taken down gradually, the tree stays til 12th night. It doesn't drop needles or I might think otherwise.
