The "Floating Christmas Tree" has returned to Tuckerton, New Jersey, for the 2024 holiday season. This annual display, which began as a Girl Scouts project in 1961, lights up Lake Pohatcong and has been dedicated to the memory of former mayor Peg Jacobi. Alongside the tree, the "Glowing Cross" also illuminates the lake. Built by David Disbrow, the cross serves as a symbol of faith and hope. Disbrow decided to keep the cross lit year-round to provide a constant reminder of hope and forgiveness. Both the tree and the cross are popular attractions in Southern Ocean County, drawing visitors to enjoy the festive sights each Christmas season.
