" Thankfully, the lighting of the tree is enough to bring me back to my senses. The golden white lights flicker to life, illuminating the wintry night and igniting the Christmas spirit in every Mondovian heart. And as the crowd breaks into a moving rendition of “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” I lift my gaze to the star shining on the tree’s tallest bough and begin to sing along. "
