With the mercury at a warm 64 degrees, the weather Saturday didn't do much to invoke thoughts of Christmas.
That's especially true for a Canadian like Bud Reiser, the new morning host for Star 92.9 FM. The native of Newfoundland oversaw the ceremony kicking off Springfield's Festival of Lights. The centerpiece of the event was turning on the lights for a 33-foot Norway spruce growing near Mediacom Ice Park.

"Bud, this is winter in the Ozarks," said Bob Stephens, the mayor pro tem.
More than 1,000 people joined Reiser and Stephens for the official tree-lighting ceremony. First- and second-grade students ran around the park shaking silver jingle bells and talked about meeting Santa Claus. Other children and adults stood in line for cups of hot chocolate or other goodies.

Weather is also a factor.
"It would be more seasonal if it were colder, but it's more comfortable if it's warmer," Crunk said.
Crunk said he was happy with the turnout, especially after the city decided to cancel the annual fireworks display because of high winds.
Even if the temperature didn't invoke thoughts of cold weather and cozy fires, Springfield residents said it wasn't too early to be in the Christmas spirit.
"No, it's never too early," said Chastity Chew of Springfield.
