Christmas Trees ‘Round the World

Before the
ball drops in Times Square, the Big Apple turns on its holiday charm with the
Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center.

The Capitol
Christmas tree in Washington, D.C., is decorated with 3,000 ornaments that are
the handiwork of U.S. schoolchildren.  Encircling evergreens in the
'Pathway of Peace' represent the 50 U.S. states.

The world's
largest Christmas tree display rises up the slopes of Monte Ingino outside of
Gubbio, in Italy's Umbria region.  Composed
of about 500 lights connected by 40,000 feet of wire, the 'tree' is a modern
marvel for an ancient city

.
A Christmas
tree befitting Tokyo's nighttime neon display is projected onto the exterior of
the Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka.

Illuminating
the Gothic facades of Prague's Old Town Square, and casting its glow over the
manger display of the famous Christmas market, is a grand tree cut in the Sumava
mountains in the southern Czech Republic.
