2. A Monumental Occasion

While we've never been huge fans of the Washington Monument-lighting event's name -- get it? It's a monument -- we've also have never missed this. Why? Hot cider, slightly cooler temps, singing, fireworks. General holiday spiritness, really. See -- we aren't so cynical after all. 5:30 p.m. festivities, 7 p.m. lighting. Mount Vernon Place, 600 Block of N. Charles St. Free. <a href="http://www.bop.org">bop.org</a> For details on A Monumental Occasion and other local events, go to <a href="http://findlocal.baltimoresun.com/listings/a-monumental-occasion-baltimore-1">FindLocal</a>.
