It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas \u2014 and it’s not even Halloween!<\/p>\n
Mark your calendars for the arrival of this year’s Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. This year’s selection will arrive at the plaza on Nov. 7, a few weeks before the official lighting is scheduled to take place on Dec. 2<\/p>\n
There’s still no word yet on where this year’s tree will hail from. <\/p>\n
What happens to the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree after it comes down?<\/p>\n
The tree goes from providing Christmas joy to providing housing.<\/p>\n
When the tree is taken down, it is laid in Rockefeller Plaza to be cut up and taken to a yard in New Jersey. There it is milled into two-by-four and two-by six beams and branded with a Rockefeller Center stamp. <\/p>\n
Tishman Speyer, the firm that owns and operates Rockefeller Center, then donates the lumber to Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that helps to build and improve homes across the country.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas \u2014 and it’s not even Halloween!
