Rockefeller Tree Lighting

I was sitting one day flipping through the channel when I saw a feature on the Rockefeller Tree Lighting. There were many celebrities present such as Carrie Underwood and Nick Lachey who had sung their own versions of traditional Christmas carols. I had planned on going to see the lighting on that Wednesday, but I had other plans for that night. Instead, my friends and I decided to go this past weekend to see the Christmas tree. It was remarkable. The tree was gigantic, more than 50 feet tall. It wasn’t hard to find because the lighting on the tree lit the entire area up and guided us to it like the North Star. It was elaborately decorated with all sorts of ornaments, but also had the traditional ones such as the two turtledoves. If you are ever passing by, you should go see the tree for yourself, especially at night.

    The tree is an amazing spectacle. Everyone should at least visit their tree once in their lifetime (and definitely visit the tree if one is on a date…makes for good pictures!)

    It would have been nice to attend the actual lighting. Maybe next year??

    People from all over NYC come to see the tree. The Lincoln Center tree looks amazing too.

    I like your analogy that compared the tree to the North Star.

    It is great living in New York City. You can feel the holiday spirit everywhere in the city.

    i dont mean to be a party pooper, but i feel that the xmas trees at rockefeller center the past few years have been disappointing. Nevertheless, its the meaning behind the tree that captures the millions who go to see it, and which i feel is greater than the aesthetic beauty
