Connecticut tree to be the christmas tree in Rockafeller center

[Robdawg]

SHELTON, Conn. -- A 60-year-old Norway spruce from Shelton will be heading to New York City as this year's Rockefeller Center holiday tree.

The 84-foot-tall tree in Joseph and Judy Rivnyak's backyard is being prepared to make the trip to the Big Apple next week.

The Rivnyaks have lived at the home on Soundview Avenue for 32 years and said the tree was planted in 1947 by the home's first owner.

I agree; it's disgusting. If they want this symbol I'll bet it would be possible to create a terrific, reusable, synthetic tree, instead of killing a beautiful live tree for the sake of a legend.

They don't have rights, but they do have lives.

OH, OK, you were serious. I thought you were poking fun at enviromentalists. I didn't take a look at the age of the tree.

Is that a Holiday or Xmas tree...
