What NOT to do with your Christmas Tree.

So I just read a post, where it is ten things to do with your Christmas tree. Supposedly sourced from a professional.

There is one actively dangerous tip in there. The one about using your christmas tree for wood. Nooooooooo. No, no, no, NO! Pine sap is one of those things that burns really fast, and also can be responsible for putting the gunk in your chimney that can cause a chimney fire.

(you can use parts of the branches for starting fires, since they catch really well, but not a fire made entirely of Christmas tree! You'll end up with a fire made of house, too). This is also why you never should place a live Christmas tree next to the fireplace, no matter how pretty it looks.

There are only two really worthwhile tips in there: The fish habitat and the mulch. but the above tip is the only really actively dangerous one.

And my tree stays up until Epiphany. :) This year, it may become a Valentine tree too.

And on that note, off to build a fire and enjoy the snowy day....
