Just in time for a change of paste. Welcome America’s Christmas tree as it arrives from MA to The Big Apple in NY.
I know, Thanksgiving day is on its way, but my wife and I are happy to see the new Rock Center Christmas tree arrival.
The 74-foot Norway spruce was reportedly driven into Manhattan’s Center Plaza, where it was hoisted in place by a crane. It will take 5 miles (about 8 kilometers) of light strands with more than 50,000 multicolored LED bulbs to wrap the tree, whose diameter measures 43 feet (13 meters). A Swarovski star crown sparkling with 3 million crystals will top it.
The towering conifer, donated by the Albert family in West Stockbridge, Massachusetts, was cut down Thursday morning and loaded onto a flatbed truck for the 140-mile (225-kilometer) trip. It is the first Rockefeller Center Christmas tree to come from Massachusetts since 1959.
