On Saturday, November 26, 2005, from 6:00 till 6:30 p.m., the festive
season begins with the annual Christmas caroling and Tree-Lighting Ceremony
in The Ritz-Carlton tradition. Held in The Lobby Lounge, the angelic voices
of carolers entertain, while families and holiday revelers are served hot
chocolate, eggnog, cookies and Gluhwein. The moment of anticipation
culminates in the lighting of the seven-meter tall Christmas tree in the
lobby by Vice President and Area General Manager Mr. Ralph Grippo.
There’s going to be Christmas caroling all day at the Portman Ritz, so if you arrive the hotel early or sometimes in between the ceremony & reception, do spend a moment in the lobby and enjoy the festive celebration.
