BUFFALO, N.Y.-- The Christmas season is on full swing in Buffalo, at least if you're in the lobby of downtown's Hyatt Regency Hotel.
Saturday marked the start of the 38th annual Festival of Trees, put on by Women and Children's Hospital.
Local businesses donate fully decorated trees, wreaths, and gifts, all which are auctioned off over the course of the next two weeks.
Ticketed events like tonight's Black Tie Gala also bring in donations.
All proceeds will benefit the new Oishei Childrens Hospital.
