One night, they noticed a Christmas tree outside the post office. With the lights on, the tree looked magical.‘ That gave us the idea of planting a tree in our own garden to light up in the same way,”Avril said.”“we also thought it would help us get to know our neighbours and make friends in the village.”Then they bought a 6-foot-tall tree for £6 and planted it in a garden centre in 1979. Since then their neighbours came to help them decorate the tree every year. Now over 30 years later, the Christmas tree has grown 44 feet tall. They had never imagined it.‘At first, we could put only six lights on the tree, but now the number reaches900,’ said Christopher.” It’s so tall that we have to use a cherry picker（活动升降台）to decorate the tree.’Now the whole village joins the couple every December to help them decorate the tall Christmas tree.
