Christmas Tree
The world famous Anegada Christmas tree was erected 15 December 2007 at the roundabout. It is the highest Christmas Tree in the British Virgin Islands standing 35 feet (11 m) high and having almost 15,000 lights upon it. It was donated by a Canadian friend of the island and is erected and maintained by the Anegada Cultural Committee. The committee hopes to build the tree lighting ceremony into a regular event to bring together the people of Anegada. The official tree lighting ceremony takes place on the first Saturday evening of December each year.

Famous quotes related to christmas tree:
“Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs,
Rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys,
Advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm,
Retreating to the corner of arm and knee,
Eager to be reassured, taking pleasure
In the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
