Happy New Year!

Is your Christmas tree still standing? This year, start a new tradition in your family by taking it out in style, just as people do in Sweden.

In Sweden, January 13, St Knut’s Day, is the traditional day to discard the Christmas tree and end the season's festivities. A children's party is the favored way to strip the tree of its decorations, after which the children are free to "plunder" the edible treats and small gifts placed on the tree especially for the occasion. Finally, everyone "dances" the tree out the door. Singing special songs, they pick up the tree and toss it out into the snow. Swedish children look forward to this dancing-out party almost as much as Christmas itself -- and what a better way to combat the post-Christmas blues?
