Oh, Christmas tree
With Halloween and Thanksgiving comfortably in the past, Queens
last week began celebrating the coming Christmas season in earnest,
with hundreds of people attending numerous tree-lighting ceremonies
in anticipation of the big day.
And Santa’s schedule was a hectic one. Middle Village celebrated on
the campus of Christ the King Regional High School on Metropolitan
Avenue on Thursday, Dec. 1.
On Friday St. Nick was the guest of the Maspeth Chamber of Commerce
for ceremonies at Maspeth Memorial Square. St. Nick passed on his
reindeer and sleigh, traveling instead with the FDNY’s Squad 288
for an evening of song and dance.
On Saturday he was at Myrtle Avenue and Union Turnpike with the
Ridgewood, Glendale and Middle Village Lions clubs.
