When to take your Christmas tree down, and how to dispose of it

Have you taken down your Christmas tree yet? Chances are you haven't.Whether you chose to decorate a natural or artificial tree this year, you're probably still admiring the sight of it in your living room, and in no immediate rush to part with the warm, magical feeling it brings. Of the approximately 94 million U.S. households that display a Christmas tree, fewer than 20% take down their Christmas tree in December, according to polls by online sources like Bob Vila and Architectural Digest. Still, unless you live in the North Pole and work for a man named Kris Kringle, you'll probably want to take down your Christmas tree sometime before the end of January.

God’s Mercy and the Atari I Never Got

Heavy is the heart weighed down with memories of the one that got away, especially around Christmas. My heart was once so encumbered, not by a past flame but by the Atari 2600 home videogame console.It was early December 1981, and everyone I knew seemed to be playing “Space Invaders.” My elder sister, Brig, 12, younger brother, Jack, 8, and I, 10, had pestered our parents for it all year.
