It’s that time of year again. Old Christmas trees can be left at several parks in Santa Monica through January. Residents can discard their trees at Clover Park, Douglas Park, Christine Emerson Reed Park or Los Amigos Park, as well as the city of Santa Monica’s transfer station at 2401 Delaware Ave.
All of the trees will be recycled.
The 12 days of Christmas are probably the most misunderstood part of the church year, according to The Voice Christian Resource Institute. Contrary to popular belief, these are not the 12 days before Christmas, but the 12 days from Christmas until the beginning of Epiphany on Jan. 6. However, rarely does anyone keep their Christmas trees that long.
