In the spirit of holiday giving, Montlake neighbors were treated to a gift this morning.

Some holiday helpers visited Montlake playfield to decorate a lone tree that keeps residence along the Bill Dawson trail and was clearly pining for decorations. Witnesses claim to have seen small people decorating the tree, hearing laughter and greetings of “Happy Holidays!”

Were they Holiday Elves? Or, better yet, were they neighborhood children up to some good – spreading holiday cheer? We may never know, but the gift they left is one for Montlake to enjoy!
