The Biggest Christmas Tree In The World - IJsselstein | the Netherlands - Gerbrandytower - 367m

First it wasn't sure if the lights will go on this year, because of the financial crisis.
But a Dutch singer payed the missing costs to let it be the biggest tree again.

mine and most people that I know if not everybody, but I cant ask them because already forgot the name. your acknowledgment doesnt make that tree famous neither.

Maybe you and the few people you know. Since you forgot the name of the tree that doesn't mean the people you know doesn't know or heard about it. Keep asking. Also I guess you must not watch American films. It has been film so many times. But most visitors to NYC already seem to KNOW about that christmas tree. I get ask a lot about it. There are more nice christmas trees in NYC actually that I haven't posted. Nobody ask about them. But the Rockefeller tree is the 'famous' of them all.

We've had many bigger, flashier, more pompous trees on here, but i think the sentiment of this tree is far more poignant and more in the spirit of xmas we should encourage.

Rockefeller Center's tree is really famous, not just among Americans, but all over the world. I knew it since I was a kid and I've never been over there. I guess the one in Trafalgar Square in London is very famous as well.

Anyway, here is one of Stockholm's christmas trees. It also claims to be the world's largest of its kind (38 meters tall), and is made up of several trees joined together. I prefer the more natural looking christmas trees to the cone shaped ones though

Uhmmmm.... never having heard of the tree at Rockefeller Centre is sort of like saying you have never heard of beaches in Rio, or the Sydney Opera House, or Big Ben in London! ;)
The tree at Rockefeller Centre is a gift every year from Canada to the citizens of New York City.

In my books, the best Christmas trees are the real ones. Here was our tree in front of the Toronto City Hall last night:

the same as like saying you have never heard about the moon. :yes:



:lol:


sorry if that's important for you, but never heard about anything of that, nor the tree, neither the place. And I'm a well informed guy, so heard about other stuff you talked. And those comparisons are a bit far fetched.

I see; I guess we all have different life experiences. In any case, it is a very beautiful sight and one that most people enjoy very much when they go to New York City around Christmas. :)

NYC tends to have the nicest, 'real' Christmas trees. The Rockefeller Center one is probably the biggest 'real' tree out there. Isn't there one on Wall Street area? I though I saw one there before. :)
