Building a Christmastree bonfire - Kerstboomverbranding (Hellevoetsluis/NL)
From even before the moment the fire is lit the fire brigade is present. They know how to build a fire with 1000 trees reaching a temperature of 1300 degrees Celsius. Because of the weather (to much wind) we could miss it, even at the very last moment

Hellevoetsluis: Kerstboomverbranding - Event Photography
The traditional Christmas tree burning is an annual event that takes place the week after Epiphany. According to tradition, January 6 is the date on which the Christmas tree is taken down. Then it is Epiphany, the day on which, according to the Bible, the three Magi from the East arrived in Bethlehem. This holiday symbolizes the end of the Christmas celebration. The Christmas tree burning event is then organized by the municipality, ensures that the trees are collected and plans an evening often attended by many spectators. The event is often enhanced by music and there are stalls selling snacks and drinks. A festive tradition with a warm welcome for the new year.
