“Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays the Abingdon Square Conservancy diehards from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” Paraphrasing the USPS, we came together to make our 10th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony a memorable success for the Conservancy and our friends and neighbors.
The weather gods were not kind. We were not deterred. Nor were you! Our 18-foot-tall Christmas tree adorned with over 5,000 lights came to life on Friday, December 1st and now brightens the night in the heart of our beloved Greenwich Village. And Santa Claus was at his best with the wide-eyed little ones who were oblivious to the soggy weather.
Hot cocoa and cookies were consumed under umbrellas in record speed. Spontaneous caroling filled the air, too. The children enjoyed their wonderful sparkling glow bracelets. Here are few great pictures capturing the spirit of the evening.
