I'll let someone else say it

I went to the tree lighting ceremony in a nearby town. The deal was supposed to be that Santa rides into the square on the back of a firetruck and lights the tree. Half an hour after Santa rode the whopping 2 block parade route, we were still standing beside a dark tree as the mayor recited a long poem of his own invention and seemingly every Chamber of Commerce member gave a speech. Just when it looked like it was about to wrap up, they said, "Let's sing a few more songs!" About 20 mins later, they finally lit the fucking tree.

Cured me of wanting to go to public tree-lighting crap but the chinese food later was okay
