On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce 2012 Tree Lighting Committee, we would like to thank our many sponsors, participants, and volunteers for the special townwide Tree Lighting on the Common this past Sunday.

It is easy to see why this is a holiday favorite of Stoneham. On the heels of Thanksgiving, the Tree Lighting heralds the Christmas and Hanukkah seasons with visits with Santa, fun activities for children and families, delicious food, caroling, and holiday music.
