                   NOT JUST YET!

     I must admit that today's Blog is about
a national "holiday" I won't be observing.
     December 30th is "Falling Needles
Family Fest Day."
     This is a day specifically intended
as a reminder for those taking down their
Christmas trees to clean up and recycle
those trees.
      Every state offers recycling programs
and many communities offer free pick up.
      Before they're recycled the trees can
be used as a shelter for birds or a place
where you can hang treats for our
feathered friends.
      Trees can also be used for mulch.
      It's a very positive "holiday" that's
designed to improve the environment.
      In my case, however, it's too early!
      After months of buildup to Christmas
I think the holiday deserves to hang around
a bit longer. At least until "Russian Christmas"
on January 6th.
      Then there's the fact we've used the same
artificial tree for many years! It's our Christmas
tree and by unpacking it every season we've
saved a lot of natural trees!
       Clean up if you must but I'm hoping
you'll hang on to your tree, and Christmas,
a little longer. And that all your NEWS is
good!
