LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Governor Jim Pillen and First Lady Suzanne are inviting Nebraskans to two holiday events on Dec. 8. The first is the annual lighting of the State Christmas Tree. The second event, which will follow immediately after, is the Hometown Christmas at the Governor’s Residence.

The holiday season seems to get real with the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center in New York City every year.
