As Monica said to Chandler, "This. Just. Got. Interesting."

Check out today's daily update. We've got large screen monitors, performance stages in various, well, stages of readiness, as well as behind the scenes pictures of the technicians and equipment required to put on this kind of shindig. And then there's that beautiful full-frontal shot of the tree as seen from in front of Saks Fifth Avenue. Definitely not to be missed!

Tomorrow, I'll post more pictures, of course, as well as a review of the show itself. Scheduled to perform, according to NBC.COM are Celine Dion, Josh Groban, Barry Manilow, Taylor Swift, Ashley Tisdale and Carrie Underwood. I know the Rockettes are in the show (they are every year), so I'm sure this isn't a complete list. Like I said, I'll keep you posted.

One final bonus today. A live web-cam of the tree, taken from a camera posted somewhere high up in 30 Rock. I assume this will be active during the show, so it might be something worth popping up on your screen.

The national show takes place between 8pm and 9pm Eastern time. If you get New York TV, there will be an extra hour of performances and various other merriment from 7pm to 8pm on WNBC-TV (Channel 4). Two hours of Al Roker! Who could ask for more? ;-)
