The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Was Unveiled And People Are Comparing It To Charlie Brown's Sad Tree
Rockefeller Center's iconic Christmas tree was recently erected in Midtown Manhattan, but it's getting lackluster reviews over on Twitter. The Norway spruce was chopped down last week in upstate New York and arrived over the weekend.
Rex Chapman was among the first to point out the tree's janky appearance, quipping that the tree epitomized 2020.
Soon others joined in on bullying the sickly Yuletide spruce.
To their credit, Rockefeller Center responded to the criticism on Twitter, saying it was a long journey and much work remained before the official lighting ceremony on December 2.
The displaying of the tree has been a yearly tradition since 1933, and sits underneath 30 Rock, situated in-between West 48th and West 51st streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
There was at least one happy story to come from the much-beleaguered tree, a small owl had hitched a ride inside and was brought to a wildlife facility.
