Note to City: Light the tree before 9:00 PM

As a parent of a 5 year old who loves Christmas and anything that has to do with it, I was disappointed that he didn’t get a chance to see the tree lit last night on TV.

The problem is the city decided to light the tree at 9:00 PM well after most little kids bed times. Would it have been a disaster to light the tree at 8:00 instead?
