Since then  the tree has become one of the wonders of the holiday season  as thousands of people come together to gaze at the bright and sparkling sight. For many  it is one of the surest signs Christmas is near. The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree tells the story of this now-landmark calendar event. Not only does it provide background on how the tree is chosen  cut  transported  and decorated  as well as fun facts (it now has LED lights and  after the holiday  its lumber is used for a Habitat for Humanity house)  but it also follows at least one family in each decade whose pine ended up becoming one of New Yorks most popular tourist attractions. Handsomely bound  with a ribbon marker  this lovely gift book makes a great stocking stuffer and a special treat for anyone visiting Rockefeller Center at Christmastime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984653905973,"sku":"ByrdShop_1604330473","price":60.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781604330472.jpg?v=1770840728","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-rockefeller-center-christmas-tree-the-history-lore-of-the-worlds-most-famous-evergreen","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
