Live Christmas trees can be so fun and romantic. You get to wander around a field, select the perfect specimen, cut it down, bring it home, and decorate it beautifully. As an added bonus, the whole house smells like pine – a sure sign that Christmas time is here.
But, let’s be honest, they can also be a huge pain and after a few weeks the novelty wears off. The cat also enjoys the smell of the tree and decides he or she must sit inside, inevitably knocking it over during the process. After a week or two, the amount of needles you’re vacuuming each day gets larger and larger. And, heaven forbid you get too close to the tree and brush up against it knocking several more handfuls of needles off.
Now, for the 3rd year in a row, 16 Mile Brewery in Georgetown, DE is letting locals take their frustrations out on their trees. All you have to do is fill out the form on 16 Mile Brewery’s website here and they will schedule a time for someone to come pick up your tree. Then, come out to the brewery on Friday, January 20th and watch your Christmas tree go out in a blaze of glory! Have you ever seen a Christmas tree catch fire? It’s intense and certainly fun to watch.
Even better, yet, is that during the event 16 Mile will be collecting items for the Home of the Brave veterans homeless shelter in Milford, DE. Their current wish list can be viewed here on 16 Mile’s website.
So, come out to 16 Mile Brewery on Friday, January 20th, and get some sweet, sweet revenge on your Christmas tree. Oh, and while you’re there, make sure to enjoy a cold beer or two. Cheers!
