6 LODGERHot TopicsROCKEFELLERCENTERCHRISTMASTREEAlthough the official Christmas treetradition at Rockefeller Center began in 1933(the year 30 Rockefeller Plaza opened), anunofficial tradition began during theDepression-era construction of the Center,when workers decorated a smaller 20 foot(6.1 m) balsam fir with "strings ofcranberries, garlands of paper, and even afew tin cans" on Christmas Eve (December24, 1931), as recounted by Daniel Okrent inhis history of Rockefeller Center. Accordingto Rockefeller Center, workers pooled theirmoney for that unlit tree, with the garlandsmade by workers' families.With the lighting of the 50-foot-tall (15 m)first official tree two years later, the treebecame what Rockefeller Center dubbed "aholiday beacon for New Yorkers andvisitors alike." A skating rink was openedbelow the tree in the plaza in 1936.Rockefeller Center has observed the tree tobe "from the beginning . a gathering placeand reflection of what was happening in theworld around it."World War II ushered in simple, patrioticdecorations, including red, white and blueunlit globes and painted wooden stars. In1942, instead of one large tree, three moremodest trees were raised, each decorated inone of the flag's colors. From 1944 until theTracey Delagewar's end in 1945, the tree went unlit due toblackout regulations. After the war, the yearof darkness was left behind, as six ultravioletlight projectors were employed to make itappear as though the tree's 700 fluorescentglobes were glowing in the dark.By the 1950s, workers began usingscaffolding to decorate the tree, as largertrees were accommodated. Before the decadewas over, the decorating process called for 20workers and nine days. 1951 marked the firsttime that NBC televised the tree lightingwith a special on The Kate Smith Show.The 1971 tree, a 65-footer from EastMontpelier, Vermont was the first to bemulched and recycled. It was turned into 30three-bushel bags of mulch for the naturetrails of upper Manhattan. Though the treetypically makes its journey on a truck bed, in1998 it was flown in from Richfield, Ohio onthe world's largest transport plane.1999 saw Rockefeller Center's tallest tree, a100 foot (30 m) spruce from Killingworth,Conneticut. In 2001, following the events ofSeptember 11, the tree was again decoratedin hues of red, white and blue.In 2007, the tree went "green", converting toenergy-efficient lighting with LEDs. TheLEDs use 1,200 fewer kilowatts of electricityper day, enough to power a 2,000-squarefoot home for a month.Also since 2007, each year after display, thetree has been milled into lumber anddonated to Habitat for Humanity for use inhouse construction.

MusingsThe 2016 tree, a Norway Spruce fromOneonta, N.Y., is at 94 feet high the secondtallest ever erected at Rockefeller Center. At56 feet wide and over 30,000 pounds, the treeis the widest and heaviest to date, accordingto construction crews.Since 2011, the tree lighting ceremony hasbeen followed by the singing of Joy to theWorld.The decorated tree remains on display atRockefeller Plaza, between West 48th and51st Streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues, atleast through January 6 of the new year.More than a half million people pass by thetree each day while it is on display,according to Rockefeller Center.(www.wikepedia.com)RADIO CITY MUSIC HALLCHRISTMAS SPECTACULARThe Christmas Spectacular Starring theRadio City Rockettes is an annual musicalholiday stage show presented at Radio CityMusic Hall in New York City.
