Okay, let’s light up Boston!

Here’s the setup for “Holiday Lights: Boston Celebrates Season with Lighting of Official Christmas Tree and His Monkey Too”:

Setting:

It’s December in Boston, a city steeped in history and brimming with holiday cheer. The year is 2023. The crisp air carries the scent of pine and roasted chestnuts. Snow dusts the cobblestone streets, and twinkling lights adorn historic buildings. Boston Common, America’s oldest park, is transformed into a winter wonderland, the centerpiece being the enormous official Christmas tree, a gift from Nova Scotia, a tradition dating back to 1971 as a thank you for Boston’s aid after the Halifax Explosion in 1917. But this year, there’s a twist: attached to the tree, nestled amongst the branches, is a monkey – “His Monkey Too,” as the quirky headline proclaims. The city is buzzing with anticipation for the tree lighting ceremony, and the presence of the unexpected primate has only amplified the excitement (and the mild chaos).
