NEW YORK, USA.

The Rockefeller Centre Christmas tree is a world-wide symbol of the festive season in New York City. This year’s tree arrived on November 11 and will be lit for the first time on November 29. Each year, thousands crowd the sidewalks for the event and millions watch the live broadcast.
