It was very annoying, to say the least, having people standing next to you talking as loud as they could. It wasn't the least bit fun in my opinion. But I sensed that others were thrilled to be holding their candles and swaying back and forth to the music. La-de-da!
The actual lighting of the tree was a big anti-climax. I thought, "we waited with anticipation all this time, getting our ears blown out, for this????"
No more tree lighting events for me. If I want to see the tree, I'll go on some other night.

how can there be crowds and festivities and music and crowds and revelers reveling and people swaying and reveling without the accompanying "noise"......lighting of the tree....OFF then ON!!!! Tah-dah!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like some missed a good time had by most!!
For me the crowds and the reveling and the singing and the swaying and the crowds and the reveling and just being merry is what it is all about.....the saying was never more true than at at Christmas function where people enjoy each other making merry....wishing all a MERRY CHRISTMAS.
To each his own.....the tree lighting was, as it has been every year a terrific outing to enjoy one's friends and neighbors for that something special time of year!
