The air was filled with songs and sights of the season during last weekend's 33rd annual Christmas Stroll, sponsored by the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce. From top: Nantucket's Victorian carolers led the Main Street throng in traditional melodies; the talented thirteen-year-old Ali Grenier drew a crowd during two entertaining sets; Mr. and Mrs. Claus arrived to a rousing welcome and had scores of children lined up outside the Pacific National Bank to meet them; the Nantucket High School a capella group the Accidentals performed with their male counterparts the Naturals and hushed the crowd with their singular singing style.
