REAL Christmas trees are cedars (junipers, I'm told) that you cut down yourself from some location where one shouldn't be in the first place. ?ÿThe rest of the time they are treated like weeds that need eliminated.
Umm y'all let me know how this turns out. SWMBO and my Daughter threatened me with mortality for showing my Grandson how to incinerate fire ants, and start a fire with a magnifying glass.?ÿ
Actually, I think older toys were MUCH more educational. For example, I had a Creepy Crawlers molding set with Plastigoop and all. I learned to let the blasted molds COOL DOWN prior to extraction of the goods... got some nasty burns from that thing but it DID teach me.
A tradition of my youth was?ÿfor us to?ÿsurreptitiously gather all of the discarded Xmas trees off curbs for blocks around and pile them up for a bonfire that could be seen from space. We only had a limited amount of time to enjoy the spectacle before the first fire trucks would roll up. The volatility of a dried out resin saturated conifer is second to none.
