Fredericksburg held its Holiday Lighting Ceremony at 7 p.m. The city celebrated its German heritage with a 26-foot tall wooden Christmas pyramid that was hand-crafted in Germany specifically for Fredericksburg.  Christmas pyramids are wooden carousel-like structures that have several levels depicting Christmas motifs, such as angels and manger scenes.
