I never saw the square so packed with people tonight, for the LSL Xmas tree lighting. People were in a festive mood, and were singing Xmas carols.
There were tables set-up on the perimeter of the square, for people to sit at. One gentelman informed me,, that someone got there at 8 AM to sit at the table, and was relieved by another person, in a shift of 4 hours, so the group that came for the lighting, would have a reserved table.
Somethings never change, like in reserving a row of seats.
I'll be darned, if I would spend all day, so I could get the best view, for any event but that's just me. I got there at a 6:45 PM, and I saw the tree pretty good, from where I was standing.
That's life in TV. To each his/her own.
