HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah — Annual Christmas tree lighting activities here are always fun events for base families and friends. Organized by 75th Force Support Squadron, these festivities are held each year in the parking lot at the Arts & Crafts Center.

This year, visitors were treated to many fun Christmas-themed activities including storytelling, holiday music, and snacks. Children liked the gift table where they were encouraged to select several items to take with them. Another highlight was the arrival of Santa Claus on a fire engine. He visited with children and then joined them at the ceremonial ‘big light switch’ to light the Christmas tree and officially begin the holiday season.
