Try stringing five miles of lights! One of my favorite New York traditions is the lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. This year’s tree, a 12-ton, 74-foot Norway Spruce, was cut from the Mahopac, NY, backyard of Peter Acton, a New York City firefighter and September 11th first responder. The majestic beauty is illuminated by 30,000 environmentally-friendly LED lights. That’s 5 miles of wire! And you were complaining about the battle with your paltry 300! If you missed it, check out the AP’s highlights reel.
