A Very Dry April Christmas Tree on Montague Street

A Christmas tree in April? How long are people keeping them these days?

I was walking on Montague Street between Hicks and Montague Terrace on April 24, 2021. I noticed something unusual in a tree pit. There, reclined on its side, was a very dry Christmas tree. Had I seen this in January or February, I would not have thought that it was too unusual. But April? How long are people keeping their Christmas trees?

I offered some additional thoughts on the un-seasonal sight in an article at The New Leaf Journal.
