Uses for discarded X-Mas Trees

Ok, the holidays are upon us once again which means many of our friends will be sacraficed and then thrown to the curb all in the matter of a few weeks of conformity. So I thought it might be nice to start a quick list of ways which we could make use of them in our system.
Now, theres a technique to burry the wood and plant over it (but dun remember the name). And was wondering if the wood needs to dry out above land 1st for max absorbtion?
Hulkalator or something like that.

Needles are good mulch for strawberries and great in the smoker for your bees.
I doubt we will have any up here to recycle though,its not a pine tree in the lounge room kind of place.
Even Melbourne there wasn't a great deal around,we always had the same plastic and tinsel tree held up by a brick for over 40 years.

It's always been plastic and tinsel for me too. Same tree now for 16 years... As long as the cat stops trying to climb up to the angel it should last me a lifetime.
