For Shane Fernando, the magic of Christmas does not stop at egg nog, logs crackling in the fireplace, and gifts under the tree. Taking part in the annual Old Wilmington by Candlelight Tour, he heads out into the Port City's gorgeous downtown area, where ornate Christmas trees even hang from the ceiling.
