Christmas spirit that won't be denied.
Turns out that city employees decided that a Christmas tree that a homeless man had put up in a little "camp" under a local bridge was a code violation ... and so they hauled it away in a trash truck during a routine sweep.
But there's a happy ending after all, because once the local news posted about the story, multiple people went out of their way to stop by the tent and donate what is now a number of fully decorated trees, so many that he, in turn, has donated some of the donated trees.
And if that doesn't just warm your heart this holiday season ... I don't know what will.
