On Saturday, November 30, at a time planned for as many time zones as possible, the largest number ever assembled for a tree lighting (36) crowded around as Maitre René turned on the lights and made his heartwarming announcement to welcome the holiday season.
" I wish each and every one of you a very happy Christmas and a peaceful, prosperous and joyful new year. In turning on the lights of the Roissy Christmas tree I will remind everyone that a Christmas without light is not Christmas."
Afterward, everyone posed for our group picture. Merry Christmas to all!
