The 2020 Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, a 75-foot tall Norway spruce that was acquired in Oneonta, N.Y., is secured on a platform at Rockefeller Center Saturday, Nov. 14, 2020, in New York.

This year’s Rockefeller Christmas tree, which comes from Central New York, is reminding many people of Charlie Brown.

The 75-foot Norway spruce, donated by Al Dick of Daddy Al’s General Store in Oneonta, N.Y., arrived in New York City on Saturday for the annual holiday tradition. Many social media users complained it didn’t look very full after being lifted into its spot by a crane, and compared it to the sad-looking tree from “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

Kind of fitting for 2020. Looks like something the RATs brought in.

What gets me is that in typical bureaucrat fashion, no one is willing to step up and say “Hey... that tree. Can we do something about this?”

Nope. Everyone rubber stamped their job and got lunch.

This is what things look like in Socialist countries. Ever see the capitol square in Havana ?

Broken down cars and an electrical pole right in the center.

Everything in a socialist country is done with minimal effort.

Sending a message: Your government doesn’t like Christmas and doesn’t like Christians.

Reminds me of growing up. We would always get a real semi-ratty tree and spend 1/2 an hour rotating it until my mother would say that's the best it's going to look. This guy never would have come in the house.

I couldn’t believe they would select such a tree. Or did it start out normal but was shipped via the USPS?

Mark Steyn had a few choice lines about that tree on Tucker Carlson’s show.
