 Hello and welcome to the Fort Report, I'm Alicia Woodruff and I'm Chris Connelly. Hey Chris, did you know that the tradition of decorating a tree for Christmas actually began in Eastern Europe in the 15th century? Really, that's probably about the time emergency rooms started popping up in hospitals too. While you're tearing into your presence this year, it's good to remember that while recycling is important, much of what's wrapping up holiday cheer can be recycled. Wrapping paper greeting cards, ornaments, and other decorations are not accepted in Fort Worth's curbside recycling program. There are plenty of ways to go green for the holidays. Reusing wrapping paper is a great idea and for all the stuff you can't recycle, remember that you can place up to two extra plastic bags weighing no more than 40 pounds each outside the garbage cart on your first collection day after Christmas day and New Year's Day. There's no shortage of holiday themed shows at the theaters around Fort Worth and it wouldn't be Christmas without a visit to the Jubilee Theater to see Auntie Explains Christmas. Full of music and laughter, Auntie narrates a classic Christmas story or two from her own loopy, tell it like it is perspective. The show runs through December 30th, except for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so the cast and crew can get ready for Santa's visit. It's also a great way to add fun to the spirit of the season. For tickets and show information, visit the Jubilee Theater's website or call 817-338-4411. It's important to remember that while you're celebrating the holidays, so are the folks who take care of services and programs across the city. And so to keep you from dragging out your golf clubs for no reason, here's a list of some of the closings around the city during the holiday weekend. Can you beg under the tree this year, Chris? It depends on how many pine needles the cat ate. Happy holidays everybody! Here's a list of some of the closings. Here's a list of some of the closings. I can't say that. It depends on how many cats the pine needles eat.
