          MATCHING. 
          COME ON. 
          IT'S LOVELY. 
          AND BY THE FOUR TOGETHER WITH YOU, IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK AND SOUND. 
          A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS IN DOWNTOWN GRAND PRAIRIE. 
          MERRY CHRISTMAS GP WITH THE CITY'S ANNUAL CELEBRATION TO KICK OFF THE 2024 HOLIDAY SEASON. 
          AND THIS YEAR, ADDING TO THE CELEBRATION FOR THE FIRST TIME, A HOLIDAY PARADE DOWN MAIN STREET, LEADING EVERYONE TO CITY HALL PLAZA, WHERE A BIG CROWD GREETED SEVERAL SPECIAL GUESTS, INCLUDING MAYOR RON JENSEN AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND SCHOOL BOARD, SANTA CLAUS AND THE LOVELY MISSES HO HO, AND COURTESY OF THE NHLS DALLAS STARS. 
          MEMBERS OF THE ICE GIRLS DANCE TEAM AND THE CLUB'S OFFICIAL MASCOT, VICTOR E GREEN, ALL ON HAND TO SHARE WITH THE MAYOR AND EVERYONE THERE THE BIG MOMENT OF THE NIGHT, GREEN LIVE. 
          THERE WE GO. 
          AND FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, THE LIGHTING OF THE CITY'S SPECTACULAR CHRISTMAS TREE WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A SENSATIONAL CUSTOM THEMED AND CHOREOGRAPHED DRONE SHOW. 
          MEANWHILE, BACKED BY POPULAR DEMAND FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW DOWN BELOW THE CITY'S OUTDOOR ICE SKATING RINK. 
          NOW OPEN TO ANYONE THAT WANTS TO GIVE IT A TRY FOR FREE, INCLUDING SKATE RENTALS. 
          AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS YEAR, NO RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED. 
          WE CHANGED LAST YEAR TO THE NO RESERVATION POLICY AND IT'S WORKED OUT GREAT AND WE'RE DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN THIS YEAR. 
          HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM GRAND PRAIRIE.
