Kuujjuammiut gather Dec. 20 for the annual lighting of the community Christmas tree. This year, the honour of turning the lights on went to elder Tommy Gordon Sr. After the lighting, Kuujjuaq Mayor Tunu Napartuk lead the crowd in an Inuktitut version of the traditional carol “O Come All Ye Faithful” before everyone cheered “Merry Christmas” to one another to welcome the holiday season.
