In case you missed it, the lighting of the Del Ray Christmas tree and menorah was packed last night.
The evening was full of families and friends caroling with hot chocolate with marshmallows.
Former Alexandria Mayor Bill Euille made the countdown to light the 32-foot-tall tree at Pat Miller Neighborhood Square, along with Santa Claus, Kate Moran of the Rainbow Rock Band and members of the City Council. Santa Claus was escorted to the event by the Alexandria Sheriff’s Office.
The holiday season is underway in Del Ray.
Now THAT is a good looking tree! pic.twitter.com/sGbVWyNnQm
