Fist of all, I love the Rockefeller tree, and look forward to seeing it again in two weeks when I visit NYC for the third Christmas in a row! Secondly, luckily this isn't the "Official Toronto Tree" but more like the one that most tourists will see, as they come into the city for shopping. Like the "Mall Santa" the "Mall Tree" is usually a big attraction too.

Our official tree is at City Hall (just a couple blocks from the mall), and thankfully looks like this:
