Paulina Rubio just lit up Miami’s favorite Christmas tree. The 2020 holidays are saved
Fact: The holidays are going to be weird this year.
Nine months into this COVID-19 pandemic, we are still wearing masks, social distancing and washing our hands like crazy. So instead if whinging and throwing tantrums about the CDC recommendations, embrace them.
One thing locals can do to celebrate the season is go see the huge, beautiful tree at Bayfront Park downtown.
On Monday night, Mexican pop star Paulina Rubio showed up to do the lighting honors with Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo.
The so called La Chica Dorada, accompanied by her two sons (Andrea, 11, and Eros, 4) and Santa Claus, stepped up to the podium and counted down. “Uno, dos, tres!”
Rubio, 49, later posted a picture on Instagram smiling, her arms open wide, in front of the 50-foot Rocky Mountain pine: “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.”
Except for all the face masks, the festive event did appear normal-ish and for that, we are grateful.
