The City of New Berlin will be celebrating its Christmas Tree Lighting on Saturday, December 5th 2009 at the New Berlin Veterans Memorial site located on the corner of Casper Dr. and National Ave. The event is sponsored by the New Berlin Lions Club and begins at 4:30 pm. 
There will be a presentation of Christmas Carols by the New Berlin Eisenhower Choir and brief remarks by our City’s dignitaries. The New Berlin Lions will distribute free stockings filled with candy. New Berlin Boy’s and Girl’s Scouts will provide food and hot chocolate.
Bring your camera because Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there to visit with the kids at the New Berlin Fire Station across the street. Santa’s Elves will be accepting letters to Santa. The Mail Carriers at the New Berlin Post Office will have a special mailbox for Santa at their Post Office for kids who can’t make it on December 5th or they can simply put them in your home Mail Box and Mail Carriers will make sure Santa receives them. It’s important that the address is legibly written so that Santa is able to write back to the kids. Snow or shine the event will mark the beginning of this special season of the year.
Sally and David.. Let me be the first to say "Thank You" for saying "Christmas Tree" and not "Holiday Tree". Blogs like this one get me in the Christmas Spirit. Thank you for blogging about this... Hope you have a Merry Christmas.
Ho Ho...and our shopping is about finished too...better than doing the slip 'n slide in the parking lots when the weather does get a little less than sunny...happiest of all the holidays to you !
Can'tcha at least wait until Thanksgiving!!??
In Washington, they no longer have "Christmas" trees. This year we will have "Holiday" trees...
I guess the midwest worries less about the "politically correct" thing...I know...I saw Christmas decorations in the store before Halloween.....it gets pretty cold here ya know so we gotta decorate before the frost is on the pumpkin !
It was a bit odd walking into Costco just as school started and the Christmas stuff was broken out and displayed! Soon it will be the 4th, then Flag Day, Memorial Day, and soon it will be up all year long.
Nothing wrong with being merry all year huh ? I agree...here though....for example...last weekend we had weather in the high 50's andpeople put lights on the roof...high trees...etc....better than risking life and limb on a ladder in ice and snow...!
