TREE LIGHTING AT HYDE PARK

I was present at the tree lighting ceremony in Hyde Park which is near Mattapan Square...It got me in the mood to celebrate Christmas...but also made me long for a German Christmas Market. I was able to experience one last year when I went to Germany around Christmastime... They have these markets in every town square that sell everything from handmade ornaments to warm clothes...It is also the place you can get Gluwein...a spiced hot cider like wine...Mmmmm...instead I get to experience it in the presence of Manny Del Carmen, the Red Sox relief pitcher, who flipped the switch to light the tree...Go Sox!
