Lightning McStitch

So….a Southern California Christmas (from a former Bostonian…) – we have a lagoon across the street from us where there are lighted Christmas trees. On the night after Thanksgiving, there is a tree lighting celebration. There are Christmas carolers, and Santa arrives on a fire truck. Kind of nice.
