Christmas Cheer Lights Up Johnson City

Oh, Johnson City! The festive spirit is alive and well, and it’s hard not to feel the excitement in the air as the holiday season takes center stage. With showers in the morning giving way to a slightly cloudy afternoon, residents are still finding joy in the numerous Christmas celebrations throughout the town. Although there’s a chance of rain with a 40% likelihood today, that isn’t stopping anyone from enjoying the holiday cheer!

A Festival of Trees in Founders Park

This year, one of the highlights of the holiday season is the spectacular display of trees in Founders Park. Each tree is uniquely decorated, showcasing the creativity and spirit of our community. A rainbow of ornaments has transformed the park into a winter wonderland!

Take, for instance, the magnificent tree from **Towne Acres Elementary**. The talented students have made adorable class ornaments that shine brightly with their enthusiasm. Nearby, you’ll find the **Wet Bandits**, bringing a splash of excitement to the **Marsh Regional Blood Center** tree, while Appalachian Animal Hospital went above and beyond by inviting the community to submit pet portraits for their festive display!

Creative Ornaments with a Twist

In true Johnson City style, various local businesses have joined in on the fun. For example, **Cumulus Media** has opted for a musical theme, adorning their tree with a collection of shiny discs. Not to be outdone, the **Bristol Motor Speedway** showcased their love for racing with a tree decorated in striking red and blue garland, paired with baseball ornaments that light up the spirit of competition.

If you’re a fan of all things *Minion*, then you’ll adore the tree decorated by **Brighter Days Home Care LLC**. The blue and yellow color scheme, complete with cute Minion and banana ornaments, is a fun addition that’s sure to make you smile. Meanwhile, **Studio Dance of Johnson City** has gone for a more elegant touch, with silver and pink ornaments complemented by adorable pink tutus. Talk about a dance party!

More Holiday Magic!

And let’s not forget about the amazing tree from **First Bank & Trust Company**, which has embraced the hilarity of the season with a *Grinch-themed* display. Imagine the charm of a tree that encapsulates the cheeky spirit of the Grinch! Of course, their **Candy Land Christmas** tree has also caught the attention of many, being described as “as cuddly as a cactus and as charming as an eel.” What a fun tribute to the beloved classic!

Even though voting has closed for the Candy Land Christmas trees, community members are still encouraged to stroll through downtown, soaking up all the holiday magic that these dazzling displays bring. The members of the *Johnson City Junior Council* even have their favorite, with *Whisking You a Merry Christmas* by **Cakebuds Bakery** being a delightful standout.

A Warm Welcome to All

As chilly weather sets in with **nighttime temperatures around 51F** and a higher **60% chance of rain**, bundling up while enjoying the vibrant holiday displays sounds like a perfect plan. Whether you’re admiring the decorations, taking a cozy stroll, or enjoying hot cocoa, Johnson City is a delightful place to be during this festive season.
