Now THIS Is The Way To Get Rid Of Your Christmas Tree! [Video]

Citizens of Weidenthal in Germany laugh witheringly at those of us who simply take it to the dump, instead choosing to celebrate the end of the festive season with a Christmas tree sports day.

The 11th annual Knut-Fest or world Christmas tree throwing championships was won by Frank Schwender, who was able to throw his tree further and higher than anyone else.

The world Christmas Tree Throwing Championships take place in Weidenthal, Germany. Competitions include: Weitwurf (javelin-style), Hammerwurf (hammer-style), and a Hochwurf (high jump-style). Contestants are judged on overall distance and height. The championships end with the Christmas trees being set on fire.
