Washington Monument lit for the holidays
What would the beginning of December be without festive holiday events?
I'll tell you: November.
On Dec. 3 at 5:30, our great city will be adorning the Washington Monument with lights. Yes, these lights will cover our fair phallic monument in a prophylactic flurry of light and, at the end, fireworks.
Now, if you thought a little electricity and fire was all that this little soiree had going on for it, well, you were very wrong.
Santa's coming. In fact a lot of Santas will be coming with their tap shoes on.
That's right: there is going to be a dance of aging, obese men slappin' the ground like Gregory Hines with half the talent.
Don't get the reference? Look it up. That man deserves your respect.
As if tap dancing Santas weren't enough of a reason to go see the Mount Vernon monument go up in a blaze of glory, there will be two different choir performances.
The important one is the Handel Choir because when Handel Choirs are good, they can blow minds. Specifically, weak minds, but minds none the less.
And finally, if you have something against the exorbitant waste of energy this event could cause know this: this year, BGE provided the lights. They are the special energy-efficient LED kind.
Now go "ooh" and "aah."

Washington at Christmas is beautiful and with the use of energy efficient lights, a more green Washington to set the tone for the rest of the country. (Continued…)
