The point, says Mayor George Pradel, is to promote tranquility.
"It brings us together at a time when we really need to lock our arms, especially for peace," said Pradel.
And, he says, it's time for some fun.
"I am kind of excited and tickled about it,'' he said. "I'll be able to be right there in the middle … saying thank you to everybody in our whole city."
Residents will be grouped together to spell out a holiday message that will be captured in a photo shot from the municipal center roof, city officials said. Participants should arrive about 15 minutes early so they can be posed.
