On Thursday, December 1st, Borough Hall held its annual Christmas Tree Lighting out on Borough Hall Plaza. Deputy BP Burke kicked off the event with some of his favorite Christmas puns. The St. George Theatre and the Tottenville High School Women’s Chorus sang Christmas carols and Staten Island Shakespearean Theatre performed an excerpt from “Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol” to get Staten Islanders in the holiday spirit.
Santa arrived in a unique way—by motorcycle—to light the tree and give out books to the children who attended.
The event was sponsored by the New York Wheel, Empire Outlets, Staten Island Downtown Alliance, BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse), the Gavel Grill and the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation.
