    I am so happy to see the City of Blue Ridge bringing back the Big Christmas Tree! My family have cabins in the Blue Ridge area so we are always up there visiting. We celebrate all of our holidays in Blue Ridge. We have taken so many beautiful Family Christmas pictures in front of the big tree and you can bet we will be taking some again this year with it being back. We love to go walking downtown after the tree and Christmas decorations are all up. It’s a wonderful peaceful feeling.
    Thanks for bringing the big tree back. You’ve made a lot of people happy, especially, my family.
