Just wondering if anyone knows... The trees are decorated on the West side of 360 between 2222 and 183. I always look forward to seeing them done, but have always wondered. Is it random people??

Someone just posted about that:

I think it started with one person and now more people have jumped on the bandwagon. I've been driving up 360 for 14 years now and it has grown from just a couple to more -that's why I think more people are involved.

My son (age 7) told me in all seriousness that the decorations have got there from other people's trees. Apparently on windy days it just gets blown off their trees and lands there

Southdown - that's classic. I hope you wrote that down so you can tell your son later.

We decorate ours with things that remind us of our brother and we make sure that we leave things just the way we found it after the holidays. It's a fun reminder of Jack to share at christmas.

I don't know who does it, but this year I noticed a bunch of Chrristmas lights on all of the trees. Is this a new tradition?

Same thing has been happening with the trees on the north side of 1431 close to Vista Ridge. A couple dozen cedars are lookin' mighty spiffy!
