NEW YORK — An iconic sign of Christmas arrived in New York City on Saturday as cranes set up an 82-foot Norway spruce in Rockefeller Plaza, the 14-ton tree decked out in thousands of lights and studded with stars. There are millions of crystals.

The Christmas tree is officially lit on November 30th.

The nearly 90-year-old tree was felled Thursday and hoisted onto a flatbed truck for the 200-mile journey from Queensbury, New York to New York City.

“I gave it in the hope that people would enjoy it,” said Neil Lebowitz, whose family donated the tree.
