Lighting The Christmas Tree

Saturday evening in the city we all came to the city square to see the lighting of the giant christmas tree.

The event was scheduled to start at 8 pm and but when we got there at 7.45 it was already jam packed with kids and their parents. All the front row seatings were taken and we had to settle for standing rooms only.

Santa's little helpers were there to keep all the kids amused before the ceremony starts like making animal balloons and stuff.

At 8 pm the ceremony started with a christmas choir singing the christmas carols. We just want to see them light the christmas tree but somehow I think we had a bit of wait before that happens!

Then the kids were entertained by the characters from the Wiggles like Dorothy the dinosaur, Wag the dog, Captain Feathersword, Henry the octopus and of course Santa Claus who has come all the way from the North Pole to help light the christmas tree!

After 9 pm the kids were getting a bit restless and tired but the mayor John So was just making his speech before the big event. After the speech with the help of all the kids in the audience shouting their lungs out, Santa turned on the "ON" switch and the christmas tree was lit!

Yay! What a beautiful christmas tree! Shouted every kids, including the big kids like me! Watch the 2 minute clip of the light below..
