This decorated humble tree brought a smile and lifted my spirits. I’m grateful to the folks who have been dutifully decorating it all these years.Rafael Castillo /For the Express-News
On tree-lined acreage at the corner of Wiseman Boulevard and Westover Hills sits a short, humble evergreen. It’s wrapped with golden garland interspersed with peppermint ribbons. Poinsettia leaves dot the tree with its bright red, lively emerald and golden Christmas ornaments. A silver star crowns the tip of the little spruce as if saying, “Merry Christmas!” Towering evergreens keep watch behind their tyke as it greets passersby and speeding motorists.
