SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - Right down the road from WDNU families gathered outside The Inn at Saint Mary’s to witness the lighting of South Bend’s Christmas tree.

Even though the official lighting was Tuesday night since its arrival last week---- the tree has been decorated with ornaments and lights.

Children were encouraged to bring a letter to Santa Claus... because the man himself arrived in time for the illumination of the tree.

This marks the unofficial start of the Christmas season in the city of South Bend.
