Here are Keriann Stuart's remarks:
" When A Child is born"
Christmas tree, sparkling bright,
fill with baubles, warmth and light,
Precious symbol of our affection
for Christmas time and it's perfection.
Christmas tree, don't let us down;
Show something special at your crown,
An angel, star, or splendid piece
to make our holiday joy increase,
An icon, pure, ideal, complete for Christmas memories fond and sweet.
Glitter and glisten, gleam and sweet.
Oh Christmas tree , we love you so much!
It is a great pleasure and privilege to welcome you this annual Christmas Tree lighting.
I hope that you have a wonderful time as we come together to Light up Christmas spirit on Grand Bahama.
And celebrate the birth of our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
