I remember two years ago We hung a buoy on the tree to honor my son. A Marine who lost his life to O I F 2005. I still have the Big Green ornament that Ed Collard gave me.. Friends of my son met us there. If was just heart warming and still is.

When driving up Main Street yesterday, barricades and flashing emergency lights were blocking the street. I instinctively thought of terrorists attacking the courthouse and the police station. But no, it was about Gloucester’s Christmas tree. Thanks for the photo Donna. I know Donna from reporting for GMG, and met Lidia at the GMG party Friday night. There is so much caring expressed in these 5 comments, so let me put in my 2 cents worth: “When I drag my sorry ass out of bed in the morning, facing stress and more work than I can possibly do, I think of the reason I’m here on this planet. And that is to help my fellow human beings and to love all of God’s creatures. Nothing is as important.”

This is truly the best Christmas tree anywhere. It is such a great tradition. There will be lots of stories of making buoys for years and years.
