On Thursday, Dec. 4, the tree was taken from the residence to the Clemens Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a class=\"link  yahoo-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/articles\/share-festive-decor-online-holiday-201426471.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Share your festive decor online this holiday season;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> Share your festive decor online this holiday season <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The owner of the tree, Mary Lewis, said her late husband planted the tree in their front yard in 2008 because she had always wanted a Christmas tree outside that they could decorate for the holidays. Since Lewis is now widowed, she explained that she is no longer able to maintain or decorate the tree, so she chose to offer it to the Arctic League.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI have always wanted a Christmas tree in my front yard, and he one day went out for my birthday and bought me a Christmas tree,\u201d Lewis exclaimed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Arctic League further said on Saturday, Dec. 6, volunteers will decorate the tree. The tree will then be featured on the stage in Mandeville Hall during the broadcast on Sunday, Dec. 7.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The broadcast is scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and will air on WETM-TV. Further, as part of the broadcast, Mary Lewis will be on stage to light the tree.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Image of the tree on Thursday, Dec. 4.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
