The Merry Maple. I wonder if Robert Frost had one in his living room at Christmas. I'm betting he had a Christmas tree.
Interesting. The lighting ceremony is supposed to be non- denominational. But then Santa arrives! Merry Christmas to all. And thanks to the MS chorus for all the holiday tunes.

This tree is racist. White lights???
The town needs to respond to this white light supremacy! I call on Amherst officials to make these black lights instead! It will please Shabazz and the UMass stoners alike!

Happy Hanukkah. Merry Christmas. A safe and joyous Kwanza. A joyful and triumphant er...whatever I left out. To the rest of you, have a nice winter.
