People everywhere just hanging out
some of the singers

Hard to get a shot of the tree in the dark!We had such fun. The light rain held off till the middle of the event, but it did not deter thousands of locals from conversing and shopping downtown. The streets were shut down and they were full of pedestrians. Clad mostly in jackets and scarves, sweaters and rain gear.
David and his community choir did sing. The keyboard was taken in when the rain began to fall. The singers kept on singing though. Many had libations to keep themselves warm and were not worried about the rain after the second set began! They are singing again tonight at the local high school theatre. It should be fun. He is there rehearsing now.
The kids had a great time. Starting at a local church where people were still bringing coats and jackets for the girl scouts to distribute around the area, very soon. Food everywhere. Lots of hot cocoa. Local bands. Marching bands. The lighting of the tree in front of city hall. Santa's arrival on a very old fire truck was exciting to the little ones!
Shopping was fun. Most stores were giving out refreshments and having sales as well. I got a couple of Christmas gifts and a pair of earrings for myself!
Sorry the photos are so dark!

It looks like you all had a marverlous time! That tree looks very pretty with the lights too! It makes me miss home, where the Riverwalk downtown is totally decked out in Christmas lights! Beautiful! Stay warm, and have a beautiful Sunday!
Love,

It all looks like so much fun! I have to laugh at Dave's pic....he looks like such a ham...and he looks like he's doing well despite all the medical woes this past year.
I have to laugh though..."all bundled up in scarves".....it's 55 degrees! We still wear shorts in that weather! LOL
I'm glad you were able to find presents...and even one for yourself.. how great is that? I still haven't figured out what to get people...accckkk! I better get my butt in gear soon!
