최고관리자  |  17-12-13 22:43

Cities all across the United States are dressing up for the Christmas season with trees, lights and holiday magic. Today, we look at a few of them. In New York City, one of the best-known holiday attractions is Rockefeller Center’s Christmas tree in Manhattan. The tree is lit during a public ceremony in late November. The city has displayed a large Christmas tree here since 1933. This year’s tree is 23 meters tall and covered with 50,000 lights. A Swarovski crystal sits on top. Ornate window displays are another New York Christmas tradition. Large department stores along the famous shopping area of Fifth Avenue create imaginative displays during the holiday season.

Stores choose different themes every year. This year, for example, Saks Fifth Avenue’s windows celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Disney film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.” Another famed department store, Bergdorf Goodman, celebrates New York's diverse museums and cultural sites, such as the Philharmonic and the New York Historical Society. The Fifth Avenue windows are so popular that police use long ropes to set up controlled lines for the window viewing.
