Christmas Lights on the Green

Today was the lighting of the Christmas tree on the Green. I really love the downtown events. It's great to see crowds of people downtown at night. The events are usually family-friendly, so, ironically, the after-dark events are usually packed full of little kids.


Horse & carriage rides are becoming a staple -- they had one in October at the Marty Gross event too.


The lights were turned on when the crowd counted down from ten and shouted "hip hip hooray" three times.

There were hot dogs, hot chocolate and plenty of lights!

Glowing reindeer ring the Lux clock.

The band convinced the mayor to get out of the hot dog line and come up to the podium to sing "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" -- he got better after the first chorus.
