On Sunday afternoon (December 4, 2011) from 2 to 4 PM Carlsbadistan<\/em> celebrated the 27th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting<\/strong> at the Village Faire Mall<\/a><\/strong> at the corner of Carlsbad Village Drive and Carlsbad Blvd.<\/p>\n

Carlsbad Rotarians handed out cookies, Santa got kids Christmas wishes and the crowd of nearly 300 enjoyed songs from Carlsbad High School’s Christmas Caroling Choir, dancing from Carlsbad High School’s Xcalibur dancers<\/a><\/strong> and performance from the local youth theater. It was the perfect way to kick off another holiday season in Carlsbadistan<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\nXcalibur Dancers rocked out in the parking lot, but not to Christmas music.<\/p>\n

\nThe Junior dancers got in the show as well.<\/p>\n

\"120511<\/a>
\nThe place was packed for the CHS Xcalibur Dancers.<\/p>\n

\nSometimes it seems like the CHS dancers just float across the parking lot.<\/p>\n
