fir the sake of xmas

rockefeller centre, new york.




this tree is scouted out and selected from the north american continent (this year from connecticut).

it is topped by a 3 metre 250 kg monster swarovski crystal star.

it has probably got undiscovered native wildlife living in its branches.


trafalgar square, london.



this tree is given by the city of oslo as a token of norwegian gratitude to the people of london for their assistance during the years 1940-45.

a tree has been given annually since 1947.

it is decorated in traditional norwegian style with 500 white bulbs. since 2008 low wattage halogen bulbs have been used.

i appreciate the sentiment of the tree here in london, but norway… what. the. fuck?

norway, your “tree” is like that fugly vase that aunty noreen gave us one year and we have to drag it out every year when you visit lest we offend you.

it looks like last year's tree. it looks like it's been through the wash.

this is LONDON dammit! not some backwater village centre. surely london deserves better than this.

thanks, norway… you’ve ruined christmas.
