Elmhurst Front Yard Christmas Tree - 2015 Edition
Same tradition - different house. Here's a photo of the Elmhurst front yard Christmas tree that we put up at Equation Boy/Man's house where we've been living since August. (Equation Boy/Man took that photo above, btw.)
I've posted about these trees before here on the blog, but this is a really nice Elmhurst holiday tradition. Each fall, the Elmhurst School District runs a fundraiser where you can buy a tree for $19. It is organized by a block captain who puts out the order forms and collects all the money. They then 'host' a little get-together on the Saturday after Thanksgiving where all the trees get dropped off for the neighborhood.
Our street does a really good job of participating - maybe the best around town? Anyone else want to stake the claim as best front-yard-tree-street in Elmhurst?
Here's the post from last year's tree out front of our old house (sad face).
Here's my post from our 2013 tree.
