The Wishing Tree started in 2015 as a way for people to express their prayers and wishes for the new year.
If you’ve still got a few wishes left after the Christmas presents are unwrapped and the turkey is eaten, bring them to the Homewood Wishing Tree.
Kirsten Morrow, who helps to organize the Wishing Tree, said the project will return on Dec. 26 and last until Jan. 16. The Wishing Tree is one of the trees in front of the Trak Shak on 18th Street South. Morrow and others will decorate the tree and leave a box of yarn, markers and tags.
People can use the tags to hang Christmas and New Year wishes or prayers on the tree. Morrow said visitors are welcome to hang as many wishes as they want. This is the second year of the Wishing Tree’s existence.
