It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas in downtown Vacaville. Townspeople from far and near came to watch this year’s Christmas tree light up Main Street on November 29th at 5 o’clock. This year our tree is a whopping 50 feet tall decorated with red and green lights and the brightest star.
While the tree is the main attraction, there were other sources of holiday cheer. Carolers voices filled the streets. A live nativity scene play was put on by Crossroads Community Church to share the biblical meaning of Christmas and birth of Jesus Christ. Santa Claus was also present for the children to take pictures with and share their Christmas wish with. “It was great to see so many people from the community come together downtown, it’s the only time something like this happens all year, I couldn’t miss it.” said Matthew Whitehouse. The most wonderful time of the year always creates a homey atmosphere in the heart of the city. Merry Christmas Vacaville!
