Blue Christmas

EVG reader SB spotted this discarded Christmas tree today on Third Street... colorful enough to make for a nice Easter decoration if you can hold on to it until early April...

Feb. 25



An EVG reader just spotted someone discarding this tree on Second Avenue between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place... the tree still looks plenty lively a mere two months after The Big Day.

Anyway, one of the first candidates for MulchFest 2019.

Feb. 24



Despite having a few more months — give or take a few months — to enjoy the holiday/Christmas tree... someone decided to toss their tree just two months after Christmas Eve... spotted along Third Avenue this evening by EVG reader Sarah12, with bonus points for documenting the date via the Post...Gruber MacDougal, wherever he has been, would be proud.

Tompkins Square Park holiday tree goes dark

Last year, the Christmas tree lights were turned off on the Tompkins Square Park tree on Feb. 7.

This year, the lights were extinguished this past week...



The lights are still on the tree, though. So you could probably go turn it on...

Tompkins Square Park Christmas tree update

On Saturday, the Christmas tree in Tompkins Square Park was turned off after nearly two months...

On closer inspection Sunday...



...the lights are still on the tree...



So maybe someone can plug it in for Valentine's Day.

By the way, the Christmas tree is still on in Tompkins Square Park



Does it seem odd to anyone else that the Christmas tree was still lit up as of last night in Tompkins Square Park? Maybe someone just forgot about it...? And it will be lit through the summer maybe?

An EV Grieve editorial: Time to turn off the lights this season on the Tompkins Square Park holiday tree



It was a fine-looking light job, as always. A lovely tree-lighting ceremony. The tree was still lit up as of last night. It's Jan. 14. Having it on now is just, well, depressing. (Holiday lights in a bar? Different story!) Time to move on. Anyway, we just have one month until Valentine's Day!

[Updated: I'm a jackass...the lights are kept on for a reason. See the comments. Here's more on the Ukrainian holiday from the Web site of St. George's on East Seventh Street. My apologies. But they'd better be off tomorrow! Happy New Year!]
