The Fairmont on M Street held its 11th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony Dec. 3 to benefit the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program. The U.S. Marine Corps Color Guard was in attendance along with Santa Claus, Rudolph, the Georgetown Visitation Madrigals and more than 300 guests. Families enjoyed hot chocolate and cookies, holiday card and tree decorating for children and much photo taking with Santa and Rudolph. Approximately 500 toys were collected at the event for children in and around D.C.
