The holiday season is upon us. And the signs appear everywhere. If you go to New York City, there’s the giant tree in Rockefeller Plaza. The White House has one too. If you go to Tuscaloosa it’s the Tinsel Trail. That’s a collection of trees set up by local groups and businesses to benefit charity. And, some of these trimmers take it seriously. USA Today newspaper ranked the Druid City’s Tinsel Trail number four in the nation among holiday community displays.
