STAAR

Flower Mound trees look a little happier this time of year.

The town's S.T.A.R. program (Sad Tree Along Road) are popping up around the town.

The town said residents are encouraged to decorate trees along a public road to spread some holiday cheer.

There are a few rules you need to be aware of:

• Choose a tree in a safe location and be cautious when crossing streets.

• If the tree is on private property, ask permission before you decorate.

• Follow all HOA rules and regulations.

• Use decorations that are not a danger to wildlife, and make sure they are attached securely to the tree.

• Clean up all your decorations by Jan. 3.
