Hat stolen from Forest Hill Christmas tree [..twice]

You know when something is so well-intended that you just keep any adverse opinion or criticism of it to yourself…

I don’t think it’s the original. I think the trim is grey instead of white? So pleased to see it there. Hope it’s alarmed this time.

To me it looks like a Santa Claus / Father Christmas hat. He is a traditional Christmas character with an iconic hat.

It will get wet in the rain, but so will the rest of the decorations. It may attract some dirt from air pollution. Whether it will continue to look nice we shall find out.

Our friendly neighbourhood elf had to make Santa Tree a brand new hat.

Maybe get Special Branch on the case :laughing: :laughing: If they find the person stick them on top of the tree in public view to embarrass them.

I’d be alarmed if I had such an intimate relationship with a pointy tree to be fair…

Sorry all your efforts to brighten things up for Forest Hill have resulted in this moronic behaviour by someone not just once but twice. The hat was definately still on top of the tree yesterday afternoon about 4 o’clock. Thanks for trying anyway. Pity we can’t wire something up that gives the offenders an electric shock!

So gutting for you Lee!
I hope you can at least take some comfort from knowing that so many people in Forest Hill appreciated what you did for us.
Merry Christmas!

It was there just before 7pm last night. Such a shame it’s been taken again. Especially sad for Lee. :frowning_face:

Ah, great idea - I was going to suggest trying Scotchgard, but thought it always looked awesome anyway, even in the rain :slight_smile:

Thank you for your most kind and repeated efforts.

To misquote 'someone else’s line its the few ruining it for the many.
