Christmas Tree Pick Up Dates for the City of Jefferson, WI;
January 10th, 2011
January 17th, 2011
Tree beginning to look a little sad and droopy?
Are there more needles on the floor (or in your foot) than on the tree? Well, it is that time again. Time to undecorate the tree. So, just how do we make this task a little more fun and exciting? A time that your family actually looks forward to?
Time to start yet another fun filled Christmas tradition!
Here is what you do;
1. Carefully undecorate the tree putting all decorations away neat and tidy, labeling every box. Don't worry about all those needles that are popping off left and right!
2. Carry the tree to a place outside that is at least somewhat shielded from the harsh winter wind. Keep it in the stand!
3. Collect pinecones, cotton and jute string, peanut butter, your favorite suet recipe, toilet paper tubes, popcorn, berries, apples, & oranges.
-
pop the popcorn and string it along with berries. This will become the garland on the tree.
-
cover the toilet paper tubes and pinecones with peanut butter then roll them in birdseed. Use jute or cotton string (biodegradable) to use as hangers for the tubes and pinecones. Be sure to make very large loops as to not allow any animals to become entangled in them.
-
mix your favorite suet recipe into balls then cool. I like to form the ball around the string to help hang it easily.
-
slice the oranges and apples and use the string to hang those as well.
-
use any other birdseed recipes you can find.
4. Carry all this outside and decorate your "Christmas is for the Birds (and other wildlife)" after Christmas, Christmas tree!
5. Sit inside sipping cocoa, watching the animals enjoy the tree and reading the following books;
