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!
