NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree<\/a> was hoisted aloft at its new home in Manhattan on Saturday, marking the start of New York City\u2019s holiday season.<\/p>\n

This year’s tree is a 75-foot-tall (23-meter-tall) Norway spruce from the upstate town of East Greenbush, a suburb of Albany. After being cut down this week, it made the roughly 150-mile (240-kilometer) journey south on a flatbed truck<\/a>, drawing curious onlookers along the way.<\/p>\n
