Terri and I received a call to remind us of the lighting ceremony that was being held on Broadway. As we neared the location, you could hear the countdown, and could see the bright lights go on...
Lots of people and cars lined the road to witness the ceremony
Here is a look up Broadway towards the main Christmas tree and manger
Here is the highlight of the light show! Of course, Terri had to explain to me that this wasn't a Christmas Tree... it is the Christmas star shining over the baby Jesus!
They even have their new time and temp sign lit up!
As you near the new park and amphitheater, all the new light poles are ablaze, and people have gathered to share a meal together
Another tree is lit and people have already formed lines to get a share of the food that lines several tables... including an entire roasted cow!
You can see that the cow is already half gone... but there is still enough food for everyone in line!
We finally see the end of the line, as we have the opportunity to meet and greet some of our friends. We even had the privilege to meet the Mayor!
There were not enough tables to seat everyone that came, so many took their food back to their cars, or perhaps went home to eat.
Here is a group that gathered around their vintage car
They even had live music! It was a great time for all-- good food, good music, and good friends!
On our way home we noticed that people had begun to turn on their own Christmas lights.

Merry Christmas
Have a good one :]
Sincerely!
I really enjoy the Christmas lights they have put up, but I'm very sure that they'll cost the government alot of money! I don't know where they'll get the money to pay for that. But again, it's all worth it for the Christmas Spirit!
Sincerely!
