Christmas Lights on Boston Common
The lighting of Boston Common, a tradition dating back over 60 years, lets the city know that the Christmas season is really under way. A pretty sight, the Common takes on another dimension with the lights laced through the boughs of its trees.
Mayor Menino and Santa throw the switch at Boston Common and the Public Garden and Commonwealth Ave Mall light in sequence. Once on, they sparkle throughout the festive season...
