即使在全球大流行已严重破坏从杂货店购物到婚礼的所有年份的一年中, 一些传统保持不变 — like a Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center.
在星期六早上, the 75-foot tall, 11-ton Norway spruce arrived to take its place in the iconic Manhattan scene, 根据 CNN affiliate WCBS.
The tree was brought in from Oneonta, New York and arrived with police escort, 根据一个 tweet from the New York Police Department.
“A lot of people need a lot of hope this year ’cause of the Covid-19, and we were more than honored to donate it. And hopefully we bring some joy into some people’s lives this season,” owner of the property if came from, Paula Dick, told the station. “I didn’t realize that a tree that was in my yard just not too long ago would bring joy to so many people.”
Health experts have cautioned the public to maintain Covid-19 precautions over the holiday season to keep cases from skyrocketing, as they predict they will. But the pomp and circumstance of the outdoor attraction has remained largely unchanged from previous years.
Now that the tree has arrived in Manhattan, staff will spend weeks ornamenting and tinseling the star of the show and on December 2, it will make its debut.
