CHRISTMAS TREE FLING



Getting rid of your Christmas tree can prove a bit of a problem. If it has roots you can always plant it. Or you can drop it off at a local zoo (check they want it first) as many animals enjoy playing with a discarded tree.  Or you can get your neighbours together and do as they do in Weidenthal, Southern Germany and have a Tree Flinging Competition. Competitors bring their own trees, minus the tinsel and baubles. They then attempt to throw them as high and as far as they possibly can.

Frank Schwender, 48, won the tournament for the third year in a row, with a total distance of 22.45 metres. Phew. The other plus side to flinging your trees is you would definitely burn off the extra pounds you piled on from the Christmas pud!
