the Nain Christmas tree.
Wots that then? that's not a tree you say?
Well no, its a pole in it.
Once the Christmas tree man rigs the lights in a Christmas tree layout it will look like a Christmas tree, in the nights, not quite so in the days.
With the winds gusting to about 70 at 1 pm when I took this photo I doubt if there will be any lighting tonight.
The lights used to be in a real tree further down the road. the tree was on private property and was not an ideal location, plus the lights on all night played havoc with the residents privacy.
So the location was moved several years ago, up to the lot that now has the NMC on it, necessitating another move.
Needles to say there is some fancy rigging needed, there is the right bloke here in town for it, he puts a lot of work into it every year.
I have just been informed that the tree lighting has been postponed.

I bet you just miss the roast on a 40c+ Christmas Day!!
Might have to come and visit you one Christmas to say we've experienced a white one! At least you could guarantee it unlike the 6 times in the past we've been in the Northern Hemisphere on the 25th and missed out.
Your welcome anytime bro.
One of life’s great pleasures is snow falling in Christmas Day or eve, amazing feeling for those raised with the oppressive heat and hot turkey dinner.
Of course there are no guarantees in life either, bit there is a 100% chance there is snow of some sort here on those days.
Only put off would be the cost of getting here from the rest of Canada. With a bit of planning, and asking knowledgeable people [wink wink] this can be minimized.
