I love seeing the faces of the kids ages 0-80 when Santa steps on the stage and he and the Kool Aid Man do the official countdown for the lighting. Who can top this? Thank you downtown for letting us be part of this event. Celebration of Lights wins hand up!

Something about a packed Chapel, candles and the choir singing.

Lights makes me feel like part of my community. It's crowded and hard to move around, but you can't help but smile because of the festive atmosphere. And Eileen's Cookies for all!! Same with Kool-Aid Days. Hotter and possibly rainy, but you have to love the World's Largest Kool-Aid stand and how everybody takes part!! Toss up between Celebration of Lights and Kool-Aid Days.
