It was the night before Christmas and all through Sebastopol, more than 3,500 PG&E customers were without power.

A tree was to blame, the utility said.

About 7:30 p.m. Sunday, a tree fell and struck overhead power lines on Healdsburg Avenue, knocking out power to 3,544 electricity customers around the city, company spokesperson Karly Hernandez said in an email Monday.

Power was restored about 5:45 a.m. Monday, Hernandez.
