BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Belle of Baton Rouge. Today Mayor-President "Kip" Holden joined event organizers to kick off "Christmas in the Atrium. "

The event opens to the public tomorrow. It's a family friendly event filled with festivities for Santa fans of all ages.

Kids can come decorate cookies with Mrs. Claus, take photos with Santa, and watch a hundred thousand lights dazzle in Christmas display.

In two weeks the Belle will add a *laser* light show to its line up.
