From humble Depression-era beginnings to being THE Christmas tree in New York and, arguably, the whole United States, the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has always been a reflection of the political and socio-economic times. If you've ever watched the lighting ceremony, you have participated in a tradition stemming back (pun intended) almost 100 years. Learn about its humble origins, its mythic proportions (literal and metaphorical), and its symbolism as America's Christmas tree.
