People gather 'round to get hot chocolate while waiting for the tree to be lit.
The tree sits waiting for its lights to turn on, scheduled time: 6:00 pm, Monday December 13, 2010.
The temperatures were low, below freezing. The hot chocolate was a big hit; it warmed up the crowd.
People gathered in the circle at Park and 14th. The mood was indeed festive.
The choir from EL Haynes prepared to entertain the masses.
So cute in their Santa hats.
Lead by a music teacher pianist.
While the crowd gathered round to listen,
the countdown to turning the lights on
was preceded by a few numbers from the EL Haynes choir.
Then the lights were turned on.
Everyone watched; some took pictures.
Friends and neighbors came out to celebrate.
Nice to see ANC Commissioner Jordan and his lovely wife.
So that's how the tree got lit in the Columbia Heights Plaza.
Mark Anderson and his wife Tulin and young son Soren came dressed for the festivities.
