Reduce, reuse, recycle and spread joy throughout the land. A family that realized they’d be away for Christmas discarded their tree outside on 74th street and left a note on a pole nearby telling others to use the tree in their own home.
The people who picked it up left their own note. Jodi Verse snapped a photo of the pole.
Translation, via Jodi:
“Free tree ready for loving second home after celebrating with us. Going home for the holidays if you want to give it a second Christmas!”
“Dear Neighbors, Thank you so much for the tree! It’s lovely and loving its 2nd home! Merry Christmas!”
I don’t get it. Can’t someone do this with any tree that someone puts out? I saw several trees curbside well before the holidays. Whether there is a note “granting” someone the authorization to use curbside findings is irrelevant. The key, as with any urban find, is to retrieve the discarded item asap after it is discarded, in order to reduce likelihood of canine relief on said item.
Good God, Christine … do you have a stone for a heart? Perhaps you didn’t get the memo, but Christmas is a time of joy, gentleness and sharing. Regardless of your religion/ethnicity, how could you possibly find something negative about someone using a bit of warmth and humor to share their holiday spirit? Please do us all a favor and crawl back under your rock and stay there.
“I don’t get it.” What is there to “get”? A sense of humor, I’d say, and some appreciation.
feelin’the love
Wow! Can’t believe someone found something negative to say with this story.
