Geocache Description:

What a big, strange Christmas tree... in the middle of nowhere! Well, actually in the middle of a busy intersection! So, beware of passing muggles in every direction and please replace and hide the cache very well. **Container replaced for a camoed micro on 1/22/12**
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can teach a lesson.
That constant faith and hope sublime
Lend strength and comfort through all time.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can teach a lesson.

It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go. What a beautiful sight, you’ll be happy tonight, caching in a winter wonderland. Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright. 'Tis a night before Christmas, when all through the town, not a creature is stirring, but a cache to be found! Caching around the Christmas tree, havin’ a happy holiday, everyone caching merrily, in the new old-fashioned way. You know what fun it is to ride and sing a caching song tonight, so giddy-up, geocacher, pick up your feet! And come, I tell you, pa rum pum pum pum--there is a new cache here, pa rum pum pum pum! O come, all ye faithful geocachers, joyful and (hopefully) triumphant. O come ye, o come ye to the Christmas tree in the middle of nowhere! Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go? Cause Christmas, and the cache, is near-- time for toys and time for cheer! So follow clues in merry measure (Falalalalalalalala), heedless of the wind and weather (Falalalalalalalala). Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why--cause thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, in traffic or in snow--thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump—there the cachers go! Hark! the caching angels sing…do you see what I see? Joy to the world! The FTF has come! We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! Feliz Navidad! Have a holly, jolly Christmas! Have yourself a merry little Christmas!

And so I'm offering this simple cache, to kids from one to ninety-two, and although it's been said many times, many ways… Merry Christmas to you!

Original cache contents include...
Log book, Christmas bows, Christmas ornament, Christmas stickers, snowman pin, Christmas mini-pillow, sprig of garland, M&M man, reindeer watch, and FTF prize of Christmas gift card to...??
