While out on a jog, I came up with a new sport – tree jumping! You jump Christmas trees that are out on the road for pickup. You see how high up the wide part of the tree you can jump without landing splat on your face. The boys enjoyed watching me and I really got a kick out of it. I had to run fast then kick my legs up high. I refrained from going too too crazy because I still had four miles to run to get to my breakfast.

You could even make a real community event out of it by holding a “horse show” by lining them all up in a course and then jumping them like show jumping (I used to do this once upon a time on my pony). Afterwards you line them all up teepee style (stand them up) and light them up for a bonfire. Then you invite the fire department to put out your bonfire for practice. Sound like fun?
