The Singing Christmas tree is becoming a personal Christmas tradition. I’ve been 2 years in a row. It’s a fun way to get in the mood for Christmas. It’s a 2 hour show of Christmas music combining adult and child choral groups, live orchestra, dance, and comedy. It’s called a singing Christmas tree because the center stage is a giant tree filled with rows of singers. The medley of «God Rest Ye Gentleman» and «Carol of the Bells» was my favorite. Seating is assigned and the show is for a good cause. Next year is the 50^th anniversary and I can’t wait to be there. I used the word «Christmas» only 5 times to write this review.
