Christmas Colors

I know, I know, Thanksgiving is still a week away, but in preparation for our upcoming “Holiday Feature” (where we’ll spill the dirt on what’s going on in the area – look for it on December 1), I wanted to pass on some relevant info.
On Friday, Nov 28, when you’ve come out of your turkey coma, head over to Market Square in Old Town Alexandria at 7 p.m. There, you’ll find Alexandria’s Tree Lighting Ceremony. Food, entertainment (though I question if a “message from the mayor” is truly considered entertaining? What’s he going to do, break into a comedy routine?), a visit from Santa and caroling all await those eager to jump into the holiday season.
Know of your community’s tree lighting party? Drop the info below in comments.

A certified hockey fanatic, he spends some time debating the Washington Capitals club with friends – but everyone knows of his three decade love affair with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
A professional writer, gamer, photographer, and Lego enthusiast, Ben remains captivated by DC and doesn’t plan on leaving any time soon.
