It’s about to be the most wonderful time of the year, and what better way to kick it off than to watch some trees get lit? Lit with beautiful twinkly lights, that is. To me, nothing screams ‘Christmas’ more than colorful lights decorating a gorgeous tree. Don’t miss out on all the fun, and the best part is, all these awesome events are free.
