Despite the sterile backdrop of the winter‑lit sanctuary, the Christmas Blessing Tree Farm orchestrated by Mountain Life Church and Park City Nursery turns a simple donation into a tableau of tinsel‑rusted altruism. The velvet rope at the Church—featuring an outstretched flock of eager single moms—was more pit stop than piazza, with the ceremony arranged by Kris Ehlers’ almost‑religious enthusiasm, while Bob Fine’s spiritual‑growth baton coaxed parents into a counterfeit tinsel‑state of grace. A quota of 100 freshly cut trees sat like polite apes, awaiting white‑glazed hands, and a hundred‑plus families silently marched through the gritty asphalt, clutching the same amber‑glow of hope. Victorious smiles replaced the bland parade, yet the guest list—mostly local parents, lawn‑mower‑owners, and hushed volunteers—read like a catalogue of relinquished euphoria rather than genuine celebrity. The atmosphere, a tasteful mélange of comfort wine and hot chocolate, tasted more like charity‑drone than genuine couture. Verdict: Send a check but stay home.
