“It is a simply beautiful tree,” Loy said. “If you are taking Christmas pictures around the city, University Park, or Dallas, it’s worth the trip to see that beautiful tree in the lobby.”

Thank you also to Monifa Thomas-Nguyen, a media relations manager, for securing a photo.

He apologizes in advance to the Joneses for any angry Tweets that might slip out about the Dallas Cowboys during the NFL season. You also can reach him at william.taylor@peoplenewspapers.com.
