This year’s Rockefeller Center Christmas tree was cut down on Thursday and will be trucked to New York City to usher in the holiday season.
The 76-foot (23-meter) Norway spruce is expected to arrive Saturday following its journey from a yard in West Edmeston, New York.
The conifer is approximately 75 years old and measures 50 feet (15 meters) in diameter.

Surprised Mamdani is allowing this in “his” city.
Wouldn’t surprise me if this is the final year - that is if the tree isn’t attacked and destroyed by lefties and muslims - with Mamdani cheering them on.
True, the headline failed to say that the tree lighting was probably going to be gasoline and a match.
Muhamadneezer’s Christmas toast to the infidels!
This may be the last year any tree goes up before the Democrats outlaw Christianity altogether. OK, that last part is an exaggeration, but they may very well block a tree from going up after this one.
