luxist.com — Too much Swarovski is never enough, especially during the holidays, when we all want sparkle. And during the holidays in New York City, the most popular sparkle can be found at Rockefeller Center, where each year gaggles of locals as well as tourists stop by to view the Christmas tree, which has been topped by a Swarovski star each year since 2004.

With Fergie standing beside it, I'm surprised it's not a Star of David.

I don't think the city pays for this. The portion of Rock Center where the tree stands is owned by Tishman Speyer and the Crown Family. I'm pretty sure they foot the bill. <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockefeller_Center_Christmas_Tree" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockefeller_Center_Ch ...</a>

FTA: "The star is high-tech and low-cost (energy-wise): It has enhancements such as a new cutting-edge computerized lighting system and energy-efficient LED bulbs." If Rockefeller Center is so concerned about saving the environment don't you think they would stop chopping down giant trees and dragging them into the middle of New York City every year?
