Our 2007 Civic Center Christmas / Holiday tree had a big Star of Bethlehem on top all the way through the season.
Our 2008 tree had a star that came and went.
And now, our 2009 tree has no star at all. Oh well. Looks a little plain now, huh?

Speaking of plain, take note of the Great Gravel Plain of Civic Center – it’s what we get this year instead of grass or a Victory Garden the way we had last year.
Oh well.
