Last night, the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree's lights were turn on for the holidays. With 30,000 lights on 5 miles of wire and a 750-pound star at top, it dazzled the crowd. A family of Hurricane Katrina survivors whose new home was partly built by lumber from an old Rock Center tree was on hand for the lighting; mother Tracey Davison told the AP, "It's been an awesome experience. I have a famous living room because of the tree from last year, and my girls and I have had a spectacular trip to New York for the first time."

I love the story about this tree, a tree planted by years ago by the owner's grandfather or uncle or something, a tree enmeshed in family history. So we sold that sucker and they come and chopped it down.
yeah, r1b2, and the planters of said tree told their progeny that they wanted that tree at Rock Center one day when it grew to an appropriate height.
