Donaroma's Nursery hosted an Evening of Enchantment: the Miracle of Life, which featured a pageant of twinkling trees, a star scavenger hunt, festive ornaments, and holiday cheer. Young and old alike turned out with their eyes to the sky, hoping for a glimpse of a reindeer-pulled sleigh.

(With apologies to Clement C. Moore.)
