This was the Christmas tree lighting in big Bear Lake Village. It's November 24, 2023. We stayed for the entire event. There were thousands and thousands of people it was hard to even move. There was a great concert with Christmas music and a popular group singing the songs also, Santa came by. It was a remarkable night and it was so so very cold outside. It was about 30°.. It was a really special evening and probably the most incredible Christmas party with the Christmas tree lighting I've been to. It really was a very incredible partie.

I'm not one for Christmas. However it was fun to see big bear hold tradition. Wow lots of people!!!!! 😮🎄🐻

[@bigbearweatherandmore6621]

Hey there desert. For me it’s a little bit of the opposite. It’s by far my favorite time of the year but that’s only because my best memories as a child and young adult was spending time with my family and just how loving and joyful everybody was during the holidays. My biggest fear is Losing my mom and dad and they are not young anymore and it really scares me and I know I’m gonna probably hate Christmas when that time comes I know the holidays can be extremely tough for people, and it just breaks my heart in most cases it just seems like people are a little bit of a better mood and a little bit more friendly this time of year and that’s why I love it so much And I love you my friend. I just hope you’re doing OK today and thank you very much for enjoying the video. It was pretty cool to see so many people enjoying.
