OK! So they are artificial... why discard them now when you need to put them up again in early August?

As seen this morning on 11th Street at Second Avenue by Lola Sáenz. 

This Christmas tree (complete with lights) looks extremely (and suspiciously?) healthy. Who's up for a tree rescue and another binge of "A Christmas Story"?

Thanks to EVG reader Garth for sharing these photos today from Fifth Street between Second Avenue and Cooper Square... where a discarded Christmas tree — complete with lights — lies conveniently in a move-in-ready bag... Just grab and go and be the holiday envy of your friends and neighbors this coming Memorial Day weekend...

March 26

Given yesterday's record-breaking temperatures for the date... perhaps someone thought it was time to discard their Christmas tree a mere three months from the big day. 

EVG reader 8E shared the above pic from last night on Astor Place and Broadway. 

In this era of disinformation, deep fakes and alternate trees, 8E did attempt to verify the date of the find, though could only secure a paper from March 25.

March 12, part II

When the temps get above 60, it must become a good time to toss the ol' Chrsitmas tree ... Wheezy tracked this one down on 11th Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue today... way to go Wheezy!

Not one but two discarded Christmas trees spotted this afternoon on Avenue A at Sixth Street by peter radley, who asks: "Is that 'Jingle Bells' i can hear?"

EVG reader Cajsa spotted this discarded beauty casually discarded alongside P.S. 64 Robert Simon on Sixth Street near Avenue B. No word if the Christmas tree had been decking the halls recently inside the school.
