San Francisco's tree lighting ceremony is set to be an evening of fun activities. Meanwhile, planned protests have forced the event to go remotely at the State Capitol in Sacramento.
Governor Jerry Brown and the First Lady of California will host the 86th Annual Capitol Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony Thursday evening. The tree will sparkle with over 10,000 LED lights and hundreds of hand-crafted ornaments.
Through the use of hundreds of Christmas trees on display at San Jose's 'Christmas in the Park', schools, businesses and non-profit organizations are able to bring awareness to issues or causes they care about. However, at least two trees have generated mixed reactions, with some people now seeking clarification on what is deemed appropriate for the attraction.
