I taught in one of the most dysfunctional school districts imaginable. We were NOT permitted to decorate our classrooms for Christmas. Sooo, being the cast iron beeotch I can be, I wrote a week-long social science lesson series on "Winter Solstice Celebrations Around the World". I had a display table with a pair of sabots, a gonfalon, a St. Lucia's wreath, a driedel, and many other outward symbols of winter solstice celebrations world-wide. Each had a 6 x 8 card with a brief history/description explaining the piece and its cultural relevance. And, yes, I had an artificial tree with lights and ornaments the children made from the various cultures' celebrations and a holly wreath. No mistletoe ball, though--the students were only seven years old.

Regarding what to do with used Christmas trees...San Diego runs a recycling program. For several days after Christmas, residents are urged to bring their trees to stations the city sets up, and, as I recall, the trees are run through chipping machines, and the chips are put in the composting program that is run at the city landfill.

[@RickReasonnz]

Sounds like a great idea that more cities should embrace

[@653j521]

@@RickReasonnz Many do. It saves on precious landfill space so cities like to do it. And then they often give away the composted refuse to anyone willing to haul it away for personal use. I've used their compost. :)

[@stanleyt.7930]

That is quite common. My local borough in London does the same

[@eolsunder]

well to be annoying, they do that with all trees usually at the city landfill all year long. They usually mulch trees, branches, wooden pallets, regular non-treated wood they make mulch out of, takes up less space at the landfill and many let you pick up the mulch to use at your house. So you can take any trees, branches, natural woods there, not just the xmas trees.

[@viddork]

In the Vancouver area, it's usually the fire department that takes in trees for chipping. They used to burn them, which was fun, and still usually do a few just to demonstrate how fast a tree that's been allowed to dry out will burn. Where I go, they also collect donations for charities, and provide free hot dogs, popcorn, and hot chocolate.

My small town in mid Illinois took told us two different dates for pick-up of trees. The early day(first week in January) was for putting the trees around the snow piles in the 'valley' to slow the flow to the creak thus slowing the flow of melt water. The next pick-up was late February of more usually March to toss in the 'old lake'. Those were to provide water habitats for bluegill eggs.

So if Santa is off the fictional rich list because he's real... Surely, he should be topping the actual rich list? So either the question is wrong, or Forbes isn't interested in keeping their story straight.

[@jamiesmith3259]

If he's real I hope he pays his tax

[@viddork]

Santa is real, but his riches are fictional. (Ask any parent who relies on Santa to actually supply presents.) To avoid this paradox, they simply ignore the fact of his existence.

[@viddork]

Of course, it's not so much the cost of the food, but the expense of shipping it all up there.

[@Gnarlf]

Have you ever ploted a graph with one extremely high value and a bunch of smaller ones? The small ones would all look the same. So to not diminish the achievements of everybody on the rich list, Santa is, even though he would be on top" displayed on the List. It is probably the same reason why Scrooge McDuck isn't on the fictional list either

just some info on the first segment. You give FRESH xmas trees to animals. They only eat fresh trees, just like they eat fresh leaves off trees and bushes. They won't eat old dead trees. Even goats won't eat an old xmas tree, it isnt' fresh, it doesn't have any nutrients they can use, and it doesn't taste good. So what do you do with your old xmas trees? Unless they are fresh and cut within the past week, you throw them out and don't litter animal cages with dead trees.
