Last night we enjoyed the annual tree lighting ceremony Albuquerque's Old Town Plaza. This is an annual celebration of the holiday season, hosted by Albuquerque's very own Steve Stucker from KOB TV. The lighting of the tree was broadcast live on KOB. After the tree lighting we strolled the plaza and surrounding shops to enjoy the holiday lights, festive dances, choir performances, and visited the local merchants.

Clayton will hold its 33rd annual Tree Lighting on Saturday, December third. The event always promises to be a full-fledged production and this year is no exception, with much going on beyond the Christmas tree being lit. The event is completely free.
