Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you from the Goodnight Raleigh staff. We wish you all the best for a happy and wholesome New Year.

This photo dates to 1938, the first year Raleigh illuminated Fayetteville Street with electric Christmas lights. I published a similar view from my own era in one of my earliest posts on Goodnight Raleigh —  A Ghost of Christmas Past. A Merry Christmas to all!
