‘Tis the Season for the holiday market
Three Weeks til Christmas!
I hear myself saying this every year, but I truly can't believe it is already December. This year has flown by, and it feels like we are all going to blink and wake up in 2025!
Last week was a welcomed and wonderful time with family, but now we all try the impossible of being great at work, helping the kids wrap up a semester of school (whether we are parents or educators or both!), and get everything dialed in for the remainder of the holiday season.
Crosstown Concourse Lighting this Friday
One of my favorite nights of the year has become the Crosstown Concourse “Tree” lighting event. It takes place the first Friday of December every year and has become a truly special community event.
The lights have already been hung. We can see them right outside our offices on the 4th floor of the Concourse, seemingly begging to be turned on.
The lights are drawn up in the shape of a tree with a disco ball as the star hanging above the Central Atrium. I remember Todd Richardson telling me years ago when it was just an idea that “the lights will be the silhouette of the tree, and all the people that pass under them will represent the presents”.
Community is a gift, and it takes all of us together to create that gift. We are simultaneously the giver and receiver of this precious present.
Friday, December 6th

The Lights usually flip on at 6pm. Please join us on the fourth floor outside of our office for a wonderful view.
