Alan Mann had heard of a home in Upper Darby Pa, that was a group home for the blind. Every Christmas the people of the group home would decorate a tree in front of the house, and every year theirs was always the most beautiful tree. Alan was moved by the story and wrote this song as a sort of tribute to them and their spirit (I guess). All know is I never can hear this song and not have a tear or three. And hearing it always reminds me of the tragic way he died.

The Alan Mann Band's Christmas on the Block was (and still is) one of my very favorite X-mas songs. Sad yet uplifting at the same time. Wonderful! Still sad thinking how he died. Way too young.

Does anyone know where in Upper Darby this video was shot? It looks a bit like North Carol blvd or it could be somewhere around Stonehurst or Bywood.

@Spotella always my thoughts exactly when I hear this one. It's rarely even played in Philly any more. Such a beautiful Christmas song.
