Nancy Ajram Lights Downtown Beirut Christmas Tree

Lebanese pop singer Nancy Ajram pressed the button to illuminate a giant Christmas tree during the launch of the 2011 Christmas Festivities in downtown Beirut on Saturday night.

On a stage decorated with lights and Christmas items, Nancy flipped the switch to light up the tree.

Lebanese of all ages, mainly children, watched the fireworks illuminating the Beirut skies as the festivities were launched.

Last year, former Premier Saad Hariri illuminated the giant tree.
