Welcoming the holidays at Queens Center
The borough took an hour off from storms, election results and the
economy on Saturday to kick off the start of the 2012 holiday
season with the annual lighting of the Christmas tree at the Queens
Center mall. Families and children, hundreds of people of all ages,
celebrated with lights, confetti, music and dancing, and even a
stopover by Santa on break from his planning at the North Pole.
