A symbol of the holiday season arrived in New York City on Saturday: the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree.
The 72-foot-tall Norway spruce will be decorated with 50,000 LED lights and overlook the Rockefeller ice skating rink, The Associated Press reported.
The lighting of the tree, which will feature a 900-pound Swarovski crystal star, will take place Nov. 28 in a televised ceremony.
This year's tree hails from a private property in Wallkill, New York, the AP reported. The tree's owners nicknamed it "Shelby."
