Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
The Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center in downtown New York, which was recently installed, has received derision from social media users. With twisted branches, the Norwegian tree is then compared to the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree to Ents, a fictional old tree species in the “Lord of the Rings” series.
Meanwhile, other netizens joked that the presence of the tree complements 2020 – a year full of dynamics considering that many important events occurred during the 11 months, including the corona pandemic.
Reported NBC News, Saturday (21/11), a spokesman for the Rockefeller Center explained that the tree was still adjusting to its new environment.
“When opened and installed the first time, the branches don’t immediately snap back into place, and as you can see in the photo. It takes a while before it is completely back to where it is. The tree is completely wrapped up, branch by branch, for several weeks before being felled and carried away. into town in an open truck, “he said.
In the middle of this week, the Rockefeller Center’s official Twitter account also responded to netizens’ criticism after the initial photo of the tree went viral last week.
“Wow, you all look cool after two days of driving, huh? Just wait for my lights to come on,” he tweeted.
Not only that, the Rockefeller Center is also a topic of conversation because of the presence of the adorable, small adult Saw-whet owl.
The bird is housed and cared for at the Ravensbeard Wildlife Center, where it is scheduled to be released on land in Saugerties, New York.
The Fountain Square Christmas Tree in Cincinnati, Ohio has also not been spared from netizens. The Norwegian spruce arrived earlier this month with a broken branch.
In fact, Stephen Colbert in his show, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, on Tuesday night, said the tree embodies “how we feel in 2020”.
In Boston, a seemingly irregular Christmas tree was also on display for eleven days before it was cut down, after the city previously received a string of derogations on its website and social media.
A spokesman for the Boston public works department said the tree on display in Boston’s Brighton neighborhood was one of 41 other trees shipped from Nova Scotia, Canada.
Several trees are displayed in different neighborhoods of the city, but the green trees in Brighton are the only ones being cut down.
