Eat Your Christmas Tree with Recipes from This Cookbook You'll most likely work up an appetite taking it down, so this is perfect. If it hasn't happened already, I'm willing to bet that the Christmas tree is coming down this weekend. I've got quite a few neighbors who still have their lights up on their house and a few with their trees still displayed in the window. I won't lie, I don't hate it. You do you, people. However, I think that will change after this weekend. If you've still got your live tree, you may want to eat it.
