tree lighting

Last night I went to the Klaipeda Christmas tree lighting in the Old Town Square. There was a program with children singing, dancing, the mayor playing the trumpet (he's quite good) and of course Santa. At the end, they lit up a big tree in the center of the square. There were also fireworks right over our heads! It was a festive evening - cold, but fun.

The mayor playing the trumpet WHILE holding his kid! Quite talented!

Can you find Santa in this picture? Also, the street behind him was full of people who had come to see the show/tree lighting
