US preparing for Christmas

The Rockefeller Center, one of the symbols of the US state of New York, hosted a ceremony on the annual lighting of the Christmas tree.

Report informs that millions of people flock to Manhattan to watch the traditional ceremony, which has been held for 89 years. The top of the famous Christmas tree, decorated with more than 50,000 colored LED lights, is also covered with Swarovski crystals.

The ceremony was closed to the public due to a coronavirus pandemic last year. However, the glow of the Christmas tree at the Rockefeller Center has returned this year. The Christmas tree will be lit up every day from 5:00 pm to 12:00 am until the New Year, and on December 31, it will be lit up for 24 hours.
