Weehawken Lights Christmas Tree Amid Musical Performances

After a one day postponement due to rain, residents gathered at Weehawken Town Hall on Monday night as the township lit its Christmas tree as school children sang holiday songs.

Park Avenue was filled with residents in front of Town Hall, anticipating what this year’s tree and Christmas scene would look lit.  Before the switch was flipped, beneath tinted mood lighting, students from the 5th and 6th grade Roosevelt School choir and the Weehawken High School Glee Club and Band performed holiday favorites.

              Then it was time to light the forty foot high tree located just to the left of Town Hall.  And it did not disappoint, with colorful lights and Christmas and winter characters in the space located adjacent to the tree.

              Mayor Richard Turner wished residents well during the holiday scene, while the rest of the Council expressed the same sentiments to Hudson TV.  After the lighting, there was hot chocolate and cookies for everyone in attendance.

All in all, despite a one day postponement due to Sunday’s rain, Weehawken celebrated the holiday season in style.  Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanza, whichever holiday you celebrate, enjoy the season.
