Tree Lighting Ceremony

We don't participate in Black Friday, but we do have a Friday-after-Thanksgiving tradition of attending the local tree lighting.  What a celebration this year's was!  There were fabulous lights, a wonderful concert put on by members of the popular band Pink Martini, and of course, a tree lighting.  Not just any tree, though- a 75 foot tall tree.  Huge!

 The view from where we stood- a nearby building lit up with various festive lights and sponsors.

...and a better view from behind the bleachers.  We were also about 2 stories up from the base of the tree.  Beautiful!
