Christmas carols, hot chocolate and sparkling lights.
The Colwood Christmas Light Up Celebration had it all and hundreds of community members made their way to Colwood City Hall Thursday night to take it all in.
The chilly temperatures didnB次元官网网址檛 stop local school choirs from singing holiday favourites under the festive lights as proud parents watched in the crowd.
Many took to the hot chocolate and coffee line to grab a drink and warm up while others filled up on hot dogs and fresh baked apple fritters.
Steven Goodman is a Colwood resident who came to the light up celebration to watch his six-year-old daughter, Avery, sing in the Sangster Elementary Choir. The two of them said they were having a good time.
