2010 Christmas Tree Lighting in Town Square


If you were there, then you saw how interesting the night really was...
*
Let's start by saying that I had no idea about this cool event until my very dear friend Jessica told me about it! A night filled with music, and food, and FREE pictures with Santa and a Life sized Snow Globe that you could play in the snow and everything!!!
*
Justin was unable to go with us so Cookie and Pawpaw and Uncle TJ joined us for some fun!
*

The night was filled with anticipation as Santa was going to make a grand entrance to light the tree.
*
How can Santa do that, you may ask... Isn't he like nearly 100 years old??? How can he repel down the side of the Minute Maid building without throwing out a hip or breaking his back....
*
The answer...
*
*
*
*
Santa obviously has an elf help him.... He dresses up like Santa and Santa hides behind a partition until the elf makes it "SAFELY" down the side of the building...
*
Ooooohhhhhh...
*
Why the explanation???
*
Because "Santa" (or the elf helping santa) got his beard stuck in the repel device and was stuck on the side of the building for 15 minutes... he lost his hat, white wig, and his beard... we were all scared the the little elf wouldn't make it, but he finally cleaned out his beard and was able to safely make it behind the partition and the REAL Santa walked to the front...

*
Counted down from 10 and...
*
Lit the most beautiful tree in town square!
*
And then it snowed... pretend of course, it's Houston.

Awesome.
