Birkdale Village on Thursday Nov. 10: Is your tree up yet? |Jason Benavides
Nov. 10. There are only about 63,000 minutes till Christmas, so it’s time to get ready. The Birkdale Village Christmas tree is up, all 26 feet of it.
It will be lit Nov. 19, the same day a 4,160-square-foot ice rink will open.
Santa shows up Nov. 20 for an extended stay, but it’s a good idea to make a reservation.
