People were gathered on the corner of Morris Park Avenue and Tomlinson Avenue to see the lighting of the Morris Park Christmas Tree. This year was different from past years where the sidewalk was overflowing with people, and the chorus from one of the local schools would be singing Christmas Carols, this was the year of CoronaVirus where people were told not to gather in large groups, and to socially distance themselves while wearing face masks.
The pandemic however could not stop the lighting of the Morris Park Christmas Tree at Loreto Park. On hand were Councilman Mark Gjonaj, Assemblyman Michael Benedetto, Assemblywoman Nathalia Fernandez, District Leader Irene Estrada, and Community Board 11 Chair and President of the Morris Park Community Association Al D'Angelo, along with enough community people who would not miss the lighting of the Morris Park Christmas Tree.
Also on hand was the Grinch who tried to steal Christmas, this year with a virus, but Santa showed up to take care of the mean old Grinch, and light the Christmas tree.
