One of my favorite parts of Christmas comes after Christmas. It usually happens the first weekend in January, but I volunteer with the local scouting organizations who do this Christmas tree pickup.
The families leave the tree at the end of their driveway with a donation (no requirement but usually 10-20$) and then through a sign up sheet, the scouts know what houses to go to. I usually stay at the 'base' to help out where the drivers unload the trees into a pile to be chipped and used for mulch around town.
This is always the biggest fundraiser of the year. The record number of trees weve gotten was around 2400, so the money quickly adds up!
We always have a little table with donuts, hot chocolate, and coffee. It's not uncommon for the day we do it on to be -10f or lower, so the hot drinks certainly boost peoples spirits.
This year it's going to be just the scout leaders and some adult volunteers with trucks to do it. It's sad because the little scouts always have a ton of fun climbing the pile of trees and messaging around.
Screw you corona!!!

Hiya all!
What I enjoy most about Christmas has to be waking up in the morning and spending time with family and friends while eating food, opening presents that we've all given each other, having Christmas lunch together and then chilling in the afternoon while watching cheesy Christmas airings on the TV; mainly ELF and the gruffalo christmas special.
Another quick question, what's everyone's favourite Christmas related food/dish?

My favorite thing about Christmas is always my mom's cooking. Coming home after finals is always a treat, because on Christmas Eve my mother always makes duck with cherry sauce and cream peas...two things she only makes once a year.
It's hard for me to be excited about the holidays this year with everything going on. With my grandpa passing and the pandemic, my family is pretty...out of spirits (including myself).

Yea.. I definitely feel that, but the way I see it is: There’s no bad without the good and there’s no good without the bad. So take whatever bad you’ve been through recently and recognize your due a whole lot of the ladder in the opposite direction. Enjoy yourself and enjoy and appreciate those around you ESPECIALLY because of what’s going on... treasure every little thing you have and you’ll recognize how the lows don’t outway the highs.
