The lights were switched on by Acting President Samuel Hinds, who was accompanied by his wife, Yvonne Hinds, as the crowd cheered lustily.
Following a colourful, cultural programme of songs and dances by various local artistes, the Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Irfaan Ali congratulated Courts for once again bringing the beauty and joy of Christmas to Guyanese.
In his address last night, he added that it was pleasant to see the furniture giant keeping the feeling of the festive season alive and bringing together so many people for a few hours of festive fun and frolic.

Ali advised that during this season we seek to comfort those among us who are unhappy, such as the relatives and friends of those who died in the shooting in the city last Tuesday.
He also asked that we keep in our prayers the people of the Philippines, whose country was devastated by a powerful typhoon.
He also urged Guyanese to promote a domestic violence free Christmas season.
