To celebrate the coming Christmas and New Year, the Macau Government hold its annual Christmas Lighting Ceremony on 5th Dec. The ceremony this year took place at the center of Senado Square, the normal focal point for this annual ceremony.

The Christmas Illuminations were switched on at 6pm by a number of guests. Following the illumination, a group of children from the Macau Cultural Center Children Choir proceeded to entertain the audience with a selection of Christmas carols. Guests and locals had their early Christmas lollies from Santas.
