After a hugely successful kickoff last year, members of Lake Highlands Junior Women’s League are busy preparing to “Light Up the Highlands” with their 2nd annual family Christmas event Sunday, Nov. 27th. Leading up to evening’s climax – the lighting of their 20 foot Christmas tree on the grounds of the Lake Highlands North Recreation Center – the party will include appearances by Santa, his elves and live reindeer (bring your own camera for selfies!). They’ll have entertainment by LHHS’ Espree, free hot chocolate from 7-Eleven and free In-and-Out Burger meals, as well as balloons, cookie decorating and crafts for the kids.

More than 700 people are expected to attend.

Light Up the Highlands begins at 4 p.m. at the rec center, and the tree lighting occurs at 5:45. It’s free to the community, and families are encouraged to bring picnic blankets for seating. Attendees are also invited to bring canned goods to donate to the North Dallas Food Bank for families in need during the holiday season.
