WEDNESDAY LOWDOWN: Light ‘Em Up

There’s no sense pretending otherwise: We’re zooming towards Christmas, and the growing swarm of holiday-themed happenings sneaking into the Lowdown with increasing frequency are solid proof. We’re doing this! Ho ho.

This Wednesday, for example, brings Dick Taylor Chocolate‘s third annual Christmas Tree Lighting, an attempt at community holiday togetherness that conjures memories of the glorious Eureka Inn tree efforts of yesteryear. We’re told the Dick Taylor crew has tapped the Redwood Interfaith Gospel choir to appear for added festiveness. If that sounds like your jam, details on that and other joys in your Lowdown listings below.
