"This giant tree is lovingly referred to as "Uncle John's Tree," in honor of the man who built Golden Gate Park, John McLaren. The tree was first lit during the Depression as a gift from the celebrated Scottish botanist to San Franciscans struggling through the hardships."

The lobby of the Opera House on Van Ness, featuring Nutcracker.
Lobby of the Fairmont Hotel on Nob Hill. Famed gingerbread house peeking out behind.
