Where in Douglas would you place a Christmas tree?

My new home town Douglas is famous for its all-year-round fairy lights. It feels like Christmas to me. During the Christmas season, there are also plenty of different Christmas trees around town. As a central European, I miss a Christmas market, which made me notice… there is not that ONE town Christmas tree. The one, usually on the main town square. I think symbols like this express how people see different public spaces, so I asked:

Where would you put the main Christmas tree in Douglas?

Answers varied. There was a favourite spot with the most votes, right in front of Marks&Spencer. There was a Christmas tree at that time, ‘a’ Christmas tree, one of many. It is a popular meeting point in town and sits right on the main shopping street.

I liked some of the other ideas, on the Promenade, close to the beach, at the Villa Marina Gardens (I think one could place a big big big Christmas tree there).

The other questions I asked were about the best places for a date, underrated places or hidden gems of the town and the best spots to sit and enjoy a takeaway coffee.
