Holiday Spirit Shines in Sandy Hook [Photos & Video]

Hundreds of residents turn out for the annual tree lighting.


Hundreds of residents filled Sandy Hook village on Saturday night to watch as the switch was hit to usher in the holiday season.

Christmas music served as the backdrop as businesses opened their doors and offered hot chocolate and other treats to residents who strolled the sidewalks in the hours leading up the tree lighting.

We've started a photo gallery with a few shots we took. Add yours and let's show everyone how fun it was!

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel no include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" is fallacious and disingenuous.
