There she stands tall and proud. The Oneonta Norway Spruce has come a long way, all the way to Rockefeller Center.

Rockefeller Center's second-largest Christmas tree ever is in final travel preparations.

It looks like today could be the day that the Oneonta Norway Spruce gets cut down.

They're making progress wrapping up the Rockefeller Christmas Tree.

The Oneonta Norway Spruce is getting ready to travel to midtown Manhatten.

Where is the 2016 Rockefeller Christmas tree coming from? It's coming from Upstate New York in Oneonta.

Hundreds of onlookers and a media horde descended on Albert Asendorf's front yard in Gardiner, N.Y. Wednesday morning to watch his 80-year-old, 10-ton tree come down.

Well, it's no secret that artists aren't perfect, but it really sucks when one has an imperfect night all over national TV for several million people to witness

There's something exciting about Christmastime in New York City, and this Wednesday night the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting takes place. Over the years, my daughter has visited the Big Apple during this time, watching the huge tree being put up.

Andrea and I make an annual trip to Manhattan to see the Christmas scenes.  Here's a look at the Big Apple at holiday time from our 2012 trip.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, well at least at the stores. We haven't had any snow here in Central New York just yet, unless you include up North. You know its Christmas in New York when The Rockefeller Christmas Tree enters the city. This year the tree is heading in from Morris County New Jersey.
