**Winterlit:** Santa Monicans gathered on the Promenade for the city’s official tree lighting ceremony on Dec. 1\. The event included a visit from Santa, performances from local musicians and a sprinkling of artificial “snow.” Visit [https://downtownsm.com/winterlit](https://downtownsm.com/winterlit?ref=smdp.com) for a list of Downtown holiday events and locals who missed the Downtown tree lighting can still participate in Main Street’s holiday event next weekend.
