The tree has gotten so big it has almost taken over the house. 

"They called the first of November I think and we were so excited. It is a beautiful tree and I am glad it's last hoorah is going to be the Christmas tree downtown." 

The family tree will be a part of the Dickens of a Christmas tree lighting celebration next Friday. WSLS 10 will air the lighting of the tree live during our 6 p.m. newscast that night.
