Warm cider, cookies, saxophone holiday tunes, and a chill in the air set the holiday mood on the evening of Nov. 27 in Downtown Manitou Springs as the crowd waited for the big tree lighting moment. Even Santa made an appearance, giving little ones a chance to say hello and tell him their gift wish lists. We at the Pikes Peak Bulletin hope you had a great Thanksgiving, and we wish you a wonderful holiday season!
