Every year, a large Christmas tree – last year a 16-metre-high Nordmann from Lontzen – adorns the Grote Markt in Hasselt. Previously, it was stripped and removed in mid-January, until last year. Then, for the first time, the city council gave the tree a second life as a ‘fairy tale tree’. That tree, with a fairy tale figure with a long beard on top, now stands on Leopoldplein. The Christmas tree from last December is getting a new life as a totem pole thanks to the same chainsaw artist Francis Michielsen, aka ‘Carving Cis’.
