Without the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, Christmas in New York will not be the same. For many, it is the heart of the metropolis at Christmas.
As sure as Christmas comes every year, it is the giant fir that takes pride of place each year.
– 2020 continues to deliver
But many say that this year’s tree looks as good as the rest of this year … not good. After Rockefeller Center tweeted that this year’s Christmas tree was in place, many pointed to the irony on Twitter and Facebook.
– Can the Rockefeller Center tree look worse? 2020 continues to deliver, writes @RexChapman on Twitter.
– The Rockefeller Center tree, like the rest of us, has really happened a bit this year, writes another.
Long tradition
The tree is of the Norway Spruce type, which is usually cut in the US This year the tree is about 23 meters tall and comes from Oneonta in New York.
– Norway Spruce is the English name for Spruce abief. Fir grows in eastern parts of Europe. The explanation for the name Norway Spruce was probably given to the spruce species in its day because the trees were imported from Norway, botanist Egil Ingvar Aune tells Dagbladet.
To defend against this year’s criticism of the tree in New York, Rockefeller Center responded on Twitter.
“Do you look so good after a two day trip, maybe?”
Wow, everyone should look good after a two day trip, huh? Wait till I turn on the lights! See you on December 2nd! 😉

But even 2020 also offers beautiful stories out of the ordinary.
During the tree transport work, a little owl was found on the tree. It survived hopefully and is now safely kept at the Ravensbeard Wildlife Center.

– The owl seems to be in good shape considering everything that has happened. When he is checked and receives a clear signal from the vet, he will be released again and can continue his fantastic journey, they write on Facebook.
The majestic tree is perhaps the most famous Christmas tree in the world and has been featured in various Hollywood productions.
With a little help, thousands of American Christmas candles and decorations, one can hope that the tree again this year will be sure to give Americans a Christmas atmosphere.
