Seasonal Celebration Tree

Ashley Snook shares the joys of Village Park Peachtree Corners' year-round Christmas Tree

The Holiday season is a time to celebrate and gather in holiday cheer, but for the residents of Village Park Peachtree Corners, holiday cheer is felt year-round

At the close of 2021’s holiday season, decorations were beginning to move into storage when a resident approached Physical Therapy Assistant, Ashley Snook, and asked her to keep the Christmas Tree in the fitness center. The comfort of the holiday cheer was a positive reminder to the resident who recently lost her husband

“She reminded me that we all need a little cheering up and this tree did this for her while she exercised in the gym, and so it began,” Ashley fondly remembered.

“We have decorated every month and residents stop by the gym just to look at the tree ”

Ashley honored the request and the tree has stayed up ever since Every chance she gets, Ashley redecorates the tree to showcase the latest holidays, seasons, and celebrations. Whether it is welcoming Spring, honoring the 4th of July, or sharing the spooky theatrics of Halloween, the tree is always decorated with beautiful, handpicked ornaments to brighten the room and animate the holiday season all throughout the year

This seasonal celebration tree and the people who bring it to life are reminders to us that cheer, celebration, and togetherness are not abou calendar. Rather, they are about the people around us - the people who make every day a celebration.
