West Orange residents came together on Friday to celebrate the holidays by participating in the annual Christmas Tree lighting.
Kids were able to hang out with goats, sheep and a pony at the holiday petting zoo. Hot chocolate and cookies were provided by Pal's Cabin and Shoprite and the event even included a Kwanzaa Booth.
Mayor Robert Parisi and the West Orange Recreation Department welcomed residents to the lighting. There were musical and dance performances, followed by a visit from Santa Claus himself.
