Christmas on Moore Street – Get in the holiday Spirit

Remember things looking pretty spooky on Moore Street this past Halloween?  Well, scary spiders and singing pumpkins have been replaced with Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph and the rest of the reindeer, the Polar Express and more! It’s like a mini-Christmas festival right in the heart of East Boston! Clearly, a man who loves the holidays and the neighborhood of East Boston!
