Our friends have a beautiful house up in the moutains. They have a huge driveway that is over a mile long that the kids sleigh ride down. They have a blast. Everyone brings their christmas tress and they start a huge bonfire and throw the tress in the fire. We all stand around drinking hot chocolate while the kids go sledding. Our friends just have to notify the fire department that they are doing this and everything is ok!!!

What is that? Here in CA, and its crazy laws you are not allow to "burn" anything, LOL. :)
