(CLAIR | Simi Valley, CA) — Christmas has arrived, and with it comes all of the bright and colorful trees lighting up living rooms and public spaces across town. Each tree has its own story, and together they capture the warmth and community spirit that make the season shine.
Over at the Jahns’ house, you’ll find a cozy, beautifully trimmed tree that’s become a social media favorite, with scores of likes, shares and comments. Meanwhile, the Jordans chose a clever “Presidential” theme, creating a fun twist on traditional ornaments. The Strathern Historical Society also joined in, blending local history with festive decorations, while Enegren Brewing Company put a creative spin on their own display—perfect for anyone stopping by for a seasonal sip.
For those looking for an impressive showstopper, the massive tree at the Town Center has plenty of admirers. At the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, a unique exhibit showcases Christmas trees representing all the countries President Reagan visited, offering a global perspective on holiday traditions.
Not every tree has found its forever home, though. The Y’s Men’s Club at the local YMCA is selling trees for a great cause, and Underwood Family Farms welcomes visitors to pick out a fresh fir right off the lot. And in a bittersweet moment, the Frank Family has decided to part with their beloved 9-foot Fraser fir. “After many Christmases, it’s time to let it go,” they said, hoping it finds a new family to brighten.
Whether it’s the biggest pine in town or a humble tabletop spruce, Simi Valley’s trees remind us what the holidays are about—coming together, honoring traditions, and sharing in simple joys. Merry Christmas, Simi Valley. May your homes be warm, your lights twinkling, and your holiday spirit shining bright.
