The Christmas Tree Challenge

For the last few years, JO and I have made "The Christmas Tree Challenge" part of our holiday traditions.  We started the challenge in 2015, as a way to make sure we had fun during the busy holiday season. 

This year we met up with some friends who wanted to join us for the challenge! 




We started at the Marriott Custom House

Then headed over to Faneuil Hall to see the "Blink Light Show"

We made our way up to Omni Parker (always one of our favorites)

And stopped in at The Last Hurrah for drinks (it has been way too long since we enjoyed drinks in this special spot)

We tried to go to NineZero but they didn't have a tree (bah humbug)

So we crossed the street to see the tree in the Common

We stopped in at the Four Seasons (they went real low key this year, it wasn't even worth a picture retake)

So we trekked over to the Taj but they were closed for renovations (what????)

At this point we were freezing, so we took quickly headed over to the Fairmont (where did their giant tree go???)

We ended the night by stopping in at the Lennox (they always have a cozy, New England set up)

And ended the evening at the lounge at the Charles Mark Hotel (I've never been here and I have to say, this is a fun spot)

The first day of the Challenge was quite successful!
