There were no throngs of families counting down to the tree lighting in downtown Du Quoin or carols being sung, but the city is taking on a holiday glow nonetheless. The city tree is up and decorated, the Nativity is ready for viewing, and letters to Santa can be mailed in the special mailbox in Croessman Square.
In Pinckneyville, the Perry County courthouse is ready for the season and the city's Christmas tree -- in only its second year -- stands pretty against the autumnal night sky.
