The 2007 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree – The Photoblog!
By Brian | November 10, 2007 | Share on Facebook
OK, I’m trying something new here at I Should Be Sleeping – a photoblog. Every weekday between November 8 and November 28, I will take at least one picture of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree (which stands in front of 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York – just across the street from my office at 50 Rockefeller Plaza), and post it to this page. Click back there every day to follow the arrival, hoisting, decorating, and finally, lighting of the most famous Christmas Tree in the World.
While I’m at it, some background: This year’s Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree was planted in 1947 in Shelton, Connecticut by the first owner of Joseph and Judy Rivnyak’s house on Soundview Avenue. It was cut down with a handsaw on November 7th, loaded onto a flatbed truck, and transported into New York City. Four of the past nine Rockefeller Center Christmas Trees have come from Connecticut.
The tree is 84 feet tall and 48 feet in diameter at its base. It is estimated that by the time it is taken down, more than a billion people will have seen the tree, either live or on television. Or, of course, on the Internet.
If you’d like to fall into this last category, remember to click on the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Photoblog each day for an update!
