Kenadie Bannister tries to think of what she would like for Christmas as she visited with Santa as Uptown kicked off the Christmas season with their first annual tree lighting festival.

Jolly Ho Ho Ho!

Uptown kicked off the Christmas season lighting up their Christmas tree at Uptown Plaza.



Hundreds enjoyed a real winter wonderland at Uptown as they played in snow, enjoyed free refreshments and caroling before the 54 foot tree was lit in Uptown Plaza. Santa and friends visited with kids getting their Christmas wishes that ranged from a scooter, to i phones and a brand new house!
