This post documents a long-standing family tradition: the burning of the Christmas tree, which is a lot more exciting than taking all the ornaments off and putting them away.
Craig prepares to light the tree.

| 5:47 p.m |
Craig lights the top, but it soon goes out.

| 50 seconds later |
Bruce tries to light both sides.

| 58 seconds later |
Quick! Get out of the way!
 |
| 1 second later |
The tree is consumed.
 |
| 1 minute, 8 seconds later |
Craig checks something...to see if it's still hot?!
 |
| 1 minute later. Total time elapsed is 2 minutes 54 seconds! |
A great beginning to a new year.

I love (and also miss) this great tradition. We have a fake tree which looks great, but probably wouldn't burn as impressively. It would probably just melt, smell bad, and make a big mess. But, what if it had an accelerant?
WHAT a flamin' fun idea! It's obvious Craig hasn't lost his sparkle! Love your fun family! - Shannon
