In Rotterdam they also discard their Christmas trees. Really? Yes! I biked for five hours from south to north and this is what I saw: https://denkbeeldvormer.nl/wonderschoon-gedumpte-kerstbomen-rotterdam/

#ChristmasTrees are good for #goats!🐐

Pine needles & tree bark: rich in #VitaminC and A.

Tannin content: can help deter parasites in ruminants (e.g.,goats).
🐐

“Condensed tannins work indirectly by binding w/protein in a goat’s rumen. More protein therefore makes it to the abomasum & small intestine…protein in the lower #digestive tract strengthens the intestinal lining to make it more #resilient to parasite penetration.”
Also, extra protein = immune system boost.

"People looking to recycle their Christmas trees can drop them off at five locations across Cheltenham."

Festivities aside, it's a beautiful time of year here--wonderful #light, #contrasts #textures and a rich if restricted palette!

I love it! We had an O-guage train as kids, with lots of tracks. They're the best size with #ChristmasTrees , and just the most fun in general, imo.

Christmas Eve Christmas Trees
I took this photograph on Black Friday at the Elgin Christmas Tree Farm in Elgin, Texas. For the last few years, it has been a tradition in my family to go and cut down our Christmas trees. I usually go for the Charlie Brown ones because they show the lights better. #AYearForArt #ArtMatters #christmas #christmasTrees #artodon #mastoart #artofmastodon #artonmastodon #photography #photo #ElginChristmasTreeFarm

Earlier this week, Lin and I went for our traditional walk to look at the wonderful #ChristmasTrees in the old houses that stand like silent sentinels in our town. It was an hour and a half of peaceful bliss. We wish all of you peace, happiness and safety this #Christmas.

An interesting article about #christmastrees from History media explains that long before its association w/modern religion, #evergreen #flora was connected to the #cultures and #traditions of various ancient peoples. Anyway, we just wanted to send many #happyholiday returns to all members of the .green #community! The inclusivity, engagement, and intelligence of this #network is inspiring. #SDGtree image below is from #scienceopen #blog 2021 #Mastodon #SDGs #sustainadon

Our #ChristmasTrees, like the custom of the dead visiting the living's houses around 31st October, are artefacts of VERY ancient Indo-European rites.

"Today people still leave woven offerings to her, such as rags, towels, and ribbons, on trees, or on bushes at her wells or streams." Seen here too: Song of Amergin, #Ireland 1st poet: vimeo.com/354404173

Idea of a World Tree originated in Central Asia, & diffused into Proto-Indo-European culture of ancient #Ukraine, before the migrations.

"What did you do?"
"Uh ... nothing?"
"Nothing? Why do we have carnivorous Christmas trees rampaging through town?"
"I'm not the only one with powers around here, I'll have you know!"
"But you're the only one with this kind of dark humor."
"..."
"So?"
"You got me there! It was me!"
"What do you intend to do about it?"
"Don't worry. We're in a temporal bubble. Once the spell wears off, the bubble bursts, everyone lives, and all is well ... mostly."
