Hi ho, Hi ho, it's off to recycling we go ~

A wee bit early, perhaps, but this Christmas tree is now headed for recycling. Tucson's tree recycling program provides wood chips to the public - good for mulch. Traditionally, the dismantling of the tree was performed on January 5 (Twelfth Night). Twelfth Night was considered the official end of the Christmas season and was the precursor to the feasting that leads up to Lent. King Cake, anyone?
