Santa and Father Christmas, who looks surprisingly like a Burlington resident, chat with Patch
His bushy eyebrows are white; so are his moustache, beard and long, flowing hair. His hand-made long cape is a rich red. But no red cap. No belly like a bowl full of jelly. No hearty "Ho, ho, ho's." Santa Claus, or Father Christmas, as he prefers to be called, is meeting children at the Woburn Mall. Some have their picture taken with him. Some children go right up to him. Others hang back.

Burlington's annual tree-lighting ceremony was well attended, despite chilly temperatures. Director of Maintenance Doug Gillingham said the tradition was first started in 1970 by Paul Arsenault, who donated a homemade holiday display of carol singers to the town.

In past years, he has been lowered to the ground on pulley ropes, rode in on a sleigh and even came on horseback.
