\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Parts of this blahg may be wholly unbelievable but are nonetheless the truth.\"Scott<\/a> It’s probably best to get into the current topics without too much preamble.\u00a0 So here goes.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 The easiest thing to start off with is this year’s Christmas Tree Launch. \u00a0 In a blahg last year about the 2023 Christmas Tree Launch, HOW WAS YOUR CHRISTMAS?<\/a> I recalled how I had written a blahg in 2019 called MEATS AND CHEESES AND BABY JESUS<\/a> and described my tradition of launching my Christmas Tree in the creek at the bottom of my property:
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 I should add that I also have a tradition of disposing of the Christmas tree.\u00a0 At the bottom of our property is a creek that runs fast and deep in the spring after the snow melts.\u00a0 Our annual live Christmas tree, after its stint in the house, rests out behind our garage until I can get to the creek in the spring and chuck it in.\u00a0 It\u2019s swept up in the current and disappears.\u00a0 I tried following a tree one year and got about half a kilometre before the creek took a bend through a farmer\u2019s field and was carried out of sight.\u00a0 In my imagination there is a Valhalla for our Christmas trees down where the creek ends or maybe it manages to make its way to the sea.\u00a0 More likely there\u2019s a dam of trees somewhere along the creek route overflowing and flooding the farmer\u2019s fields or perhaps the basement of his farmhouse.<\/h4>\n

So now it’s 2024 and time for me to post the video of this year’s Christmas Tree Launch.\u00a0 To be clear, the tree was from Christmas of 2023 but it’s being launched in 2024.\u00a0 Here’s a picture of what it looked like last week as it lay on my deck waiting to be rediscovered:

Well, the snow melted and I was able to get at the tree.\u00a0 Here’s the 2024 Launch:\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
