Southwest Florida residents share their Christmas tree pictures that range from whimsical to deeply personal. See the gallery above.

A south Fort Myers man’s Grinch tree brings humor, while a Naples resident’s bird ornaments collected over decades signify beauty, tradition and a family bond.

Cape Coral’s Linda and Rodger Foreman offer a candy‑colored “Warm Whimsical Wishes” tree, and Gale and Jim Lynch’s Sanibel tree symbolizes resilience three years after Hurricane Ian.

Others highlight tradition, travel memories and coastal themes. One collection of hundreds of elaborate ornaments was donated to a Naples Church. Some trees stand tall, while others are small but still carry big meaning during the holiday season.
