“This super-famous writer’s Christmas tradition was, um, setting his tree on fire”

“Hunter S. Thompson is best known for his novels, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Rum Diary (along with the movies, too) and for pioneering the style of Gonzo journalism. Now he’s also going to be known for one of the oddest Christmas traditions ever: setting your tree on fire.”

“While today we either leave our trees outside for trash day, or drop it back in the woods, or pack it up and put it in the attic because it’s a fake tree, Thompson decided to take a completely different approach to the end of Christmas. After Christmas, when it was time to take the tree down, it’s final resting place became the fireplace. Because why just leave your tree outside in the wilderness when you can watch it BURN?”
