As is tradition every December, downtown Kingston lit up with holiday cheer as the Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) turned the lights on its Christmas tree on Tuesday evening. Standing tall in St William Grant Park, the tree wasn’t just about festive vibes, it was a beacon of hope for every Jamaican, including those a part of communities hit by the recent hurricane in the western parishes. Something Extra has the social highlights from the celebration.
