We lost our Christmas tree!

---

This family mourns the loss of their own Christmas tree along Upper East Coast Road.

Isabel Sankaran was aroused from her sleep at 4.30am this morning (May 02) when she heard a loud thump coming from her driveway. She was saddened by what she saw.

The family's Christmas tree had fallen onto their driveway!

Heavy rains over the past few days had weakened the tree's foundations, and the tree came crashing down onto the family's driveway.

The tree, planted in 1975, holds a special place in her heart as her family had nurtured it lovingly from a young tree into a 30 ft wonder of nature.

Isabel's mother was particularly fond of the tree, and burst into tears upon seeing it lying on the driveway.

Isabel, who was born a year after the tree was planted, told STOMP that visitors often looked out for the towering tree in order to find their residence.

Christmas won't be the same for the family this year.
