Gather with us under cover on the front porch or inside to watch Ridgecrest Neighborhood Association plug in the lights on the tree by Cafe Aroma at 5:30 PM. This annual event scores emotionally somewhere between the Charlie Brown Christmas tree and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and that’s why it’s so much fun to gather with friends and perfect strangers to watch the lights go on. Warm and cold beverages available, including mulled wine and spiked hot chocolate.
