My holiday decorating project

There are lots of ways to decorate for your Capitol Hill holidays. But if you are going to add a holiday tree to your living space, consider these two worthy Hill options:

• The Stevens Elementary holiday tree and wreath sale has been held for more than 60 years. This weekend you can join the fun between 11a and 4p on Saturday and Sunday (Dec. 6 and 7). Neighbor Susan adds that there is a pancake breakfast Saturday morning that is, apparently, quite a show: "We’ll have pancakes, latkes, fresh fruit and a student holiday concert performance at 10am. Breakfast offered for the recession proof price of $5/per person." You can get your hotcakes from 8:30-11:00. Stevens is located at 1242 18th Ave East between Highland & Galer.
• If you can't make it out this weekend but want to take part in another worthy Hill tree fundraiser, go to Dunshee House. The AIDS support organization is holding their 19th annual tree and wreath sale . It's their biggest event of the year and supports a great cause. Dunshee House is at 303 17th Ave. E.
