Christmas officially arrived in West Orange Monday night with the annual lighting of the Christmas Tree at the West Orange Community Center. Alderman Carl Thibodeaux read the “Cajun Night Before Christmas” before Mayor Roy McDonald flipped the switch to light the tree. The Calvary Baptist Carolers led by Pastor David Milner sang Christmas carols. Other carolers were Pete and Sandy Amy, Billy and Beverly Frederick, and Lauren, Jordyn and Everlee Struwe. Santa Claus arrived on a West Orange fire truck and heard Christmas wishes from all the children present. Everyone had their fill of cookies and refreshments.
