Merry Christmas!

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has been a New York City tradition since 1933. A must-see during the holidays for tourists and residents alike, throughout the years, the entire country has grown to embrace the gigantic spectacle with televised specials of the tree’s lighting.

This shot was of the 2009 tree.

The 2009 Christmas Tree was a 76ft Norway Spruce from Easton, Connecticut.
