While the Christmas season has wrapped up and the New Year is well under way, that hasn’t stopped Santa’s Christmas Trees from continuing to spread cheer in Williamson County.

On a cold January afternoon on the site of the annual tree sale, Santa’s Christmas Trees owner Jim McLeod, along with Amy McDade from Brookside Properties, presented a $2,500 check to Dr. Leigh Webb, principal of Centennial High School.

The donation represents a portion of tree sales from the 2015 holiday season at the Walgreens at 530 Cool Springs Blvd. “Since 2008, Brookside Properties has generously provided the use of the lot at Walgreens for the benefit of Centennial High School,” said McLeod. “We are thrilled that our ongoing partnership continues to fund projects and programs at the school.”

In addition to Centennial High School, five other area schools benefit from the Christmas tree sales, with more than $150,000 donated over the past 20 years.

“Centennial is so proud of this partnership with Santa’s Trees, Brookside and Walgreens,” said Dr. Leigh Webb, Centennial High School principal. “This year, a combined total of $2,500 has been donated to our campus beautification projects from these fine organizations! By purchasing a tree to decorate their homes for the holidays, area families are contributed to campus updates, hallway beautification, and outdoor improvements. As our school prepares to celebrate 20 year anniversary this August, these donations help keep our campus looking fresh.”

About Santa’s Christmas Trees
At age 17, Jim McLeod thought it would be fun to set up a small lot and sell Christmas trees. In years past, he had sold trees as a part-time job and enjoyed it enough to venture out on his own. So he got to work and established his first lot on Hillsboro Road at Grassland in 1985.

In 31 years, Santa’s Trees has expanded from one lot to eight lots, including Brentwood, Cool Springs, Grassland, Mt Juliet, Hendersonville, and three locations in Nashville. Every Christmas, Jim’s 100 plus staff members known as Treemen are eager to share in the holiday experience. These Treemen include seasonal workers, such as teachers, landscapers and musicians, who come back each year to work at the lot. Thirty Treemen have been with Santa’s Trees for at least five years, and twelve have been there for 12 years or more. They say there’s nothing better than selling the centerpiece to so many families’ holidays, and that’s why they love their job so much.

Not only does Santa’s Trees make tree-shopping enjoyable and informative, it offers a high-quality product at a great value. Since Santa’s Trees began in 1985, Jim has prided himself on selling only premium trees that are freshly cut every week, with a dark green color, lush foliage, excellent needle retention and strong branches.
