Northgate Mall in Seattle was originally called Northgate Center. We just called it Northgate. They used to put up a huge tree-structure in the middle of the mall that had a narrow walkway around the edge, but behind the 'branches.' It was called the Singing Christmas Tree. Then, different groups were invited to fill the tree and sing Christmas carols to the shoppers.
I was a Campfire Girl from the time I was in second grade. One year, our group was invited to help with the singing. It was amazing! I can still remember climbing up to our assigned row, in my uniform, and looking out over the mall. It was like being on top of the world. And when we sang, I felt like an angel singing to the world.
