🎄✨ The Story Behind the Rockefeller Christmas Tree ✨🎄

Did you know this iconic holiday tradition started during the Great Depression?
Back in 1931, construction workers building Rockefeller Center pooled their own money to buy a small tree and decorated it with handmade ornaments—just to lift spirits during hard times.

By 1933, the first official tree lighting took place… and the rest is holiday history.

Today, the Rockefeller Tree stands 70–100 feet tall, travels from generous families across the country, and shines bright with 50,000+ lights—topped with a dazzling crystal star ✨

What started as a simple act of hope has become a global symbol of joy, resilience, and the magic of the season.

Here’s to traditions that remind us light always finds a way. 🤍🎄
