Ah, the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting, one of the most anticipated events of the year. Freezing weather, jolly elementary children, and holiday spirit fill the campus green. The choir sings with delight, and by the dozens, cookies are eaten. If only the cold wasn’t there. The freezing winds lash at your skin, and suck the warmth from your veins, making the forty-degree weather feel like absolute zero. Hot Cocoa turns cold, cookies hard and the grass crunchy. So although the festivities are fun, they’re a grim reminder too. For nothing can conquer the weather, not food or revels or even holiday carols.
