Start with a tree hung with L.L. Bean Slope Slider Sleds, add a huge boot bearing a bow and wreath, mix in music, hot chocolate and horse-drawn wagon rides, and there you have it: the annual L.L. Bean Northern Light Celebration.

Scheduled for the evening was music by The Boy Singers of Maine and Musica de Filia girls choir, and, of course, the lighting of the tree.
