Wellesley’s Linden Square gets into the holiday spirit

November 30, 2018 by Deborah Brown

It was a brisk and windy night for Linden Square‘s had annual tree-lighting ceremony, but that didn’t stop the crowd from showing up for hot chocolate and cookies and the chance to ooh and ahh over the 15-foot balsam tree all aglow in the Courtyard. The Studios Fitness & Dance girls were there to talk up their upcoming Nutcracker performances at Wayland High School, and Bach to Rock musicians supplied chill and folksy holiday music. Code Ninjas was there to hand out treats, but not to crack the code of holiday spirit — some things should remain a mystery.
