When the day came to an end, NBC 17, The Streets at Southpoint, the volunteers, Feathers, the crowd and Lifehouse stepped back to enjoy the Tree ~ in all its winter wonder!

Here’s a recap of the NBC 17 Tree of Lights ~ 2007!

And don’t forget, we hope to see you next year at the Triangle’s newest holiday tradition!

Making a great Tree of Lights with Lifehouse required some practice.

As the band only got into Durham Saturday morning, lucky shoppers and fans that came early got to jam to soundchecks and rehearsals for the band and NBC 17!

Enjoy!

Tree of Lights was a blur ~ the day happened so fast!

Here are a few of the steps (and truly, only a few steps) NBC 17 took Saturday morning to get ready for all the fun!

Please, let us take a moment to honor a Tree.

A Tree that takes its final bow before a crowd of tens of thousands and makes history in a blaze of glory!

So I don’t know if it was the anticipation of today’s fun, if it was the Sudephedrine I took yesterday, or the frustration I had trying to get my internet to hold out long enough for my videos to upload (my fingers are crossed right now as the second uploads), but I truly got two hours of sleep last night. 

I fell asleep about midnight and woke up with energy at 230 am!  Boo.  I laid there restless for the night ~ and I thought about getting up to blog here about it… then remembered my connection keeps dying anyhow…

For the record, if my connection holds up, here is the “Making of Tree” video… a few minutes showing the progress made at the Streets of Southpoint in preparation for today ~ so all you see is flawless entertainment and holiday sparkle!

I sat in a few meetings too, but no need to show you all of that… the snippet of meeting I added… multiply that by 1,000 and you now see all the planning and hard work that goes into Tree!

After everything is in place, we hope to see you there tonight and hope that you love every moment of it as much as we do!
