Alytus’ Christmas tree is already glowing, lit up without a crowd of onlookers

On Saturday night, as soon as it got dark, Alytus’ families and their children rushed to City Hall Square, photographed against the background of a bright green scarf, but some did not cause congestion when they left and others just arrived. Even taking photos of the landscape mimicking the impressive-sized festive gift boxes, later arrivals waited patiently until the family, who had rushed toward them earlier, completed the photoshoot.

“We know all the threats, look, even a little one with a mask, although he is not obliged. Yesterday we saw the transmission of the lightning, today we will see it carefully. We keep a safe distance, we will walk a little more and travel home, ”said Laura of Alytus.

“It just came to our attention then. It’s a shame, that quarantine, there are no events here, we didn’t even agree with Santa Claus, but we think he will definitely visit us, ”said Tomas, who brought the family to Alytus from Daugai village.

The Alytus fir is decorated with gold, silver and red toys of various sizes. The latter, from afar, looks like a great gift ribbon. The fir and nearby trees, illuminated by yellow lights, flash to give you more fun.
Unlike last year, in the square near the Alytus fir tree there is no trade, only a part of the cafes located in the center of the city operate, and they also sell coffee only to take away according to the quarantine procedure.

“We try to keep the secret of how the Christmas tree will look this year for a long time. We have bought a frame and toys that we will use more than once. We came up with the idea of ​​decorating a Christmas tree, which was implemented by the company 2MP Although this company usually runs our city, they were not afraid to take up the challenge and decorate our green curtain for the first time, ”said the Alytus City Municipality Communication Department.
