A Greensboro challenge: With their high-in-the-trees light balls, Sunset Hills is Greensboro’s “go to” neighborhood for Christmas. However, we’ve yet to have anyone step up and claim the title, “go to” neighborhood for Easter. In the above photo, we feature a local egg tree. While attractive, the egg tree leaves plenty of room for the extending the holiday motif. Do you have ideas? All it takes is one family’s vision for an idea to spread through a community and quickly become a tradition.

The egg tree tradition seems bigger in the northeastern part of the United States. There is even a book, a 1951 Caldecott medal winner, based on this tradition: The Egg Tree by Katherine Milhaus. Maybe a Greensboro author needs to write a book on our homegrown tradition: Christmas Light Balls over Sunset Hills. In the meantime, enjoy your Saturday and may it be glorious.
