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

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.

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

RE: Eat your Christmas Tree! - Veggie - 29-12-2023

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.

RE: Eat your Christmas Tree! - JJB - 29-12-2023

^^^ 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.
