Tree Lighting 2009

Friday night Josiah and Abigail Conrad joined Pearl and I for the lighting of the downtown Lancaster Christmas tree. It felt like winter was upon us for a couple of hours. The cold air whipped around the square, we packed tight into the crowd for coverage, sang Christmas tunes, listen to tubas do they’re tubaing, as well as hand bell choirs ring their chimes, Santa made a brief appearance, and a massive tree was lite. The thing we laughed about the most was how the tree was turned “on” all night and then turned “off” to light it up, I think someone mislabeled the switch. We loved it! The night ended with some ice cream, hot cider, and a movie. Simply delightful!
