Okay so the Peabody has one. I'm sure many other hotels, shops and restaurants also have them. How about a city one? It seems to me that the people of Downtown would appreciate that extra addition on Court Square. Yes, there was the lighting ceremony, which was okay. It was just missing something. It wasnt near as grand as it could have been! The carols by the elementary school were wonderful!!! That was the only reason to go. They were REALLY very good! I just think that to add some real Holiday beauty and spirit to the city, lets reach a bit higher on the decoration scale! Most of the event was all done by volunteers anyways. Perhaps next year you add a tree and draw a bigger volunteer circle!
Speaking of trees...we opted not to get ours this weekend. I'm going to look around and see where Memphians go to get a tree. Are there any tree farms? I havent seen any advertized. Then again South doesnt have alot of great tree farms. Back in Alabama the one near us mostly had a bunch of ceder trees. Have you ever tried hanging ornaments on a giant bush with flimsy branches??? I can just hear the smashing glass ornaments!!! I am sure we'll end up like everyone else, getting a tree at one of the many tree lots around the city!!! Some things in a life in a city need to just be left to the easiest and most convienant option.
Anyways, looking forward to our first Christmas in Memphis! We even got some blue suede shoes to add to the ornament collection to commerate this Christmas.
