The Annual
Christmas tree lighting in Phillipsburg, New Jersey was the first we've
attended since moving here. The locals, however, said it was one of the
most well attended they had ever seen. It seemed to me that, in the
faces of the children and adults, there was a sort of wistfulness I had
never seen before. There is, of course, something in the air–
uncertainty, economic fear, concerns about security, and of course,
concerns about what Santa can do for us this Christmas.

I found a song on PodSafe called "Seasons of the Soul" by Sassure (http://www.myspace.com/sassure) that hit just the right chord, ans inspired me to do a quick edit of video I shot that night.
This edit of scenes from the tree lighting is dedicated to the people of Phillipsburg.
