But the community received a nasty surprise Monday morning: someone had knocked down the tree, damaging it.
It didn’t take long for some residents to get together to put it back up, using an old tire in place of the tree’s broken stand.
“The Grinch thinks he can wreck Christmas, but he can’t,” said one resident.
The Communi-tree is now standing proudly on the corner of 2nd Avenue and 9th Street N.W., waiting for more ornaments to brighten the season.
