Mayor White would like you to join him Friday night as he lights the city’s “Holiday Tree”:

Mayor Bill White invites Houstonians to get into the holiday spirit with a festive Noontime Concert Series this week outside City Hall and the annual Mayor’s Holiday Tree Lighting and Celebration featuring Grammy Award-winning songwriter / recording artist Peabo Bryson on Friday, November 30 at 6 p.m.

Music, fireworks, entertainment and the lighting of the City’s official holiday tree will take place in Hermann Square. In addition to Bryson and KHOU TV’s Debra Duncan, the celebration will include performances by Grupo Kache, the Bayou City Chorale, The Woodlands Dance Company, Planet Funk, the Star of Hope Voices of Hope Choir, and the Parker Elementary School Chorus. There will also be a special guest appearance by Santa Claus.

Apparently, after 2005, Christmas Trees went out of style.
