CITY — When
is a Christmas
tree more than just a
Christmas tree? When it
comes with a full dining
room set attached and
is part of the Fantasy of
Trees, that’s when. Check
out these tricked-out
masterpieces ahead of
Saturday’s Angels’ Ball.

“It’s a Wonderful Life.”
But did he try hawking

NEWPORT
— Water and
electricity don’t
mix, they say. Well,
phooey. You just need
to look at the Oregon
Coast Aquarium’s Sea of
Lights to show that these
two make the perfect
festive double act (when
separated by a good few
inches of plexiglass).
