After Christmas, people put out their trees on the curb. Our gang of neighborhood kids then went around and gathered up the trees. I think we had 8 or 9 of them. Then we dragged all of them into our yard and circled them up to create a fort. From there we had a nice fort from which to play our war games.
Now if you imagine how dried up one tree might become after Christmas, think of how 9 of them looked. Then you could imagine when my parents came home and were none too impressed at the whole's street's garage in our front yard. They just didn't understand the fun.
The trees were quickly dispersed as soon as they got there. But that fort was sure a fun afternoon.
