When is the last time you checked out the Twin Falls City Park Christmas lights after dark? If you have lately, did you catch the one tree that sticks out like a sore thumb?

I pass the Twin Falls City Park holiday lights every morning I drive into work. They are the best part of the commute, and I can't help but feel somewhat like a child every time I drive exactly 35 miles per hour past them obeying all traffic laws.

I was discussing the lights with a co-worker the other day when one of the trees got brought up. A smaller tree that sits near where the annual Twin Falls Western Days carnival games area is usually set up has a distinct look that separates it from all others.

What's with that one tree?, I was asked. I immediately knew what he was talking about.

Do you know what I'm talking about yet? If you haven't noticed, there's one smaller tree that is decorated in white lights only, while all the others are adorned in multi-colored lights. I Googled it to see if anything had been written about the one tree with unique lights.

AI seems to be convinced it's a tradition the city does to signify the park's one chosen 'official live tree.' I'm not sure if AI is correct or not, but it makes sense that the tree has been singled out for a reason relating to Christmas.

Do you know the reason behind this? If so, do share.
