Everyone in the area has been talking about the tree lighting ceremony. Since we are still pretty new here, we weren't sure how involved the tree lighting ceremony was. Was it as big as the White House National Tree Lighting or maybe even Rockefeller Center? Not really but all who lived in Severna Park, their friends and family came out on a beautiful night. Although its not the bustling downtown scene of DC, Baltimore or Annapolis they do have their annual 4th of July Parade, Santa runs in the firetruck and of course the annual Christmas Tree lighting and Santa sleigh rides!
Last weekend we attended the Christmas Tree Lighting and it was such a fun treat. The local Chamber of Commerce provided cookies, cider and apple juice to the residents, the local schools sang songs and even had a dance company provide some yuletide entertainment. The streets were filled with families, friends and neighbors, police were out in full force helping direct traffic and the sounds of the holidays were all around. Once the tree lighting was finished the crowd moved their way to a local shopping center to stand in line the a carriage ride with Santa & Mrs. Claus. It was a great evening and something that was such a small treat really had a great effect to bring out the neighbors, family and friends to share the holiday cheer.
