Fayetteville Christmas Tree Lighting, Holiday Lights
It’s that time of year again we seem like we’re full-fledged the Christmas season days before Thanksgiving this year. Thanksgiving does fall pretty late, coming next Thursday, November 28, and I think people are just ready for the holiday season, ready for Christmas.
One thing people like do every holiday season is go to tree lighting to see a large outside dark tree light in the night sky to bring in the Christmas season.
Most Well-Known Christmas Tree Lighting – Rockefeller Center
The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a large Christmas tree placed annually at Rockefeller Center, in New York City. The tree is put in place in mid-November and lit in a public ceremony on the Wednesday evening following Thanksgiving. Since 1997, the lighting has been broadcast live, to hundreds of millions, on NBC’s Christmas in Rockefeller Center telecast. The tree lighting ceremony is aired at the end of every broadcast, following live entertainment and the tree is lit by the current Mayor of New York City.
The National Christmas Tree
The National Christmas Tree is a large evergreen tree located in the northeast quadrant of the Ellipse near the White House in Washington, D.C. Each year since 1923, the tree has been decorated as a Christmas tree. Every year, early in December, the tree is traditionally lit by the President and First Lady of the United States. Every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt has also made formal remarks during the tree-lighting ceremony.
