Tree Lighting

I joined the crowd last night to watch The local Christmas tree As it officially got lit, A lovely sight to see. Although it’s not my holiday, The festiveness appealed And as the neighbors gathered ‘round, That spirit was revealed. A choir was accompanied By instruments of brass And caroled with enthusiasm No one could surpass. The park was filled with families, Hot chocolate in the air, And in the moonlight, everyone Was happy to be there.

Very festive, Ilene. I watched the lighting of the tree in Rockefeller Center on TV. That's as close to one as I'll get this year. Note: check Stanza 1., Line 3
