When you think of Christmas you think of Christmas trees! Christmas trees are a timeless and practically essential aspect of Christmas here in the United States. Nothing is more beautiful than a tree all decked out with twinkling lights, bright bulbous ornaments and yummy hanging candy canes. They bring families together on Christmas morning, provide passersby a merry sight to see through an open window and awe holiday guests.
Even if you don’t have a tree of your own this year, you can still bask in the beauty of a well-lit up, decorated tree at a Long Island Christmas tree lighting! Public Christmas trees lightings are a great way to soak up the holiday spirit and get people to come together as a community. Though many people enjoy going into New York City to see the big tree lighting in Rockefeller Center, a smaller tree lighting ceremony on Long Island can provide an intimate atmosphere and much less hassle, especially when it comes to travelling.
