Rockefeller Center is the home of New York’s very own festive holiday tree. Over the last 80 or so years they have set it up with decorations and lights for all of New York and the world to see. I got the chance to go and see it over the previous weekend and as always, it was as spectacular as ever. Lights encompassing it completely and the fact that its huge makes it a nice and iconic sight to see. I’m sure everyone has seen it in the pass but there is something about it that keeps people like me coming back. I wasn’t even going to originally stop by but, after seeing it in the side of my eye it basically drew me in and I figured I would go get a better look. For New York this tradition is in itself a way for the whole city to collectively show their festive side. Everything around you can be considered art depending on one’s perspective and the Rockefeller Center tree is just another example of how this can be done.
Hi Shujat!
I agree that the Rockefeller Christmas Tree is a sight to be seen by all New Yorkers as well as visitors. As the holiday and winter season approaches us, I always look forward to going to Rockefeller Center and viewing the tree first hand. I hear that every year, there is an extensive search for a new tree and for those who the tree once belonged to, it must be such an honor to have their tree be picked to be presented at Rockefeller Center!
