Rockefeller Center is getting ready to get into the Christmas spirit when the 82 feet tall, 50 feet wide and 14 tons, the approximately 90-year-old Norway Spruce will be cut down this morning. The tree has been donated by the Lebowitz family of Glens Falls, New York; the tree itself is coming from was found in Queensbury, New York.
The tree will make the over 200-mile journey by flatbed truck to Manhattan and arrive on Saturday, November 12 where it will be erected at Rockefeller Center. Crews will start decorating the tree and wrapping more than 50,000 multi-colored, energy-efficient LED lights. Then it will be topped with a Swarovski crystal star. This year’s official lighting ceremony will take take place on Wednesday, November 30 and will be broadcast nationally as part of NBC’s Christmas at Rockefeller Center. As always, we here at ACME warn you to avoid the area at all cost.
