Our annual burning of the tree

Ok so we're really not that white trash I swear but for the past 2 years we have burned our Christmas tree in our front yard. :) It all started last year when Ryan was cutting it up for the trash when our neighbor suggest we just use it for firewood, right then and there! It creates a great fire and smells pretty good. I try and look at it as a way of meeting our neighbors by hanging out in the front yard, granted they might think we're nuts! The kids LOVE putting branches on the fire and watching them burst into flames...good stuff, I know. :)
