    It’s ok. Like groot, it will come back and grow from a seedling again. 🌱 By being part of the holiday season, it will bring hope and wholesome joy to many. I don’t celebrate Christmas but find it wonderful seeing others who do. The family did a nice gesture. Thank you, McGinleys!

    I’m from the southern tier. Live here now. Sad to see the tree being cut down, but it will bring smiles to millions. Hopefully they planted a seed in its place for a new one to grow

      The tree’s wood will be milled and donated to Habitat for Humanity after it is taken down.

    I wish the families that give their tree to Rockefeller Center, could light the tree during the Ceremony, instead of some Celebrity. Those family will have great memories of donating & pushing the button to their tree!🎄

      Yes, but eating CO2 and giving back O2, to cut down a healthy any possibly a several hundred year old tree for a 1 month hooman celebration is a disaster imo, sad.

    Touchy feely no doubt, like American media is, but make no mistake. These people were paid handsomely to watch their tree be killed.
    Not enough to retire on but still an “undisclosed” amount. I checked and so can you.

    So yet again the Rockefellers get all the glory, the actual donor gets absolutely nothing, kinda how the Rocks have prospered through their history.
    The donors should be paid for the tree.

    though it's beautiful tradition that tree standing there for centuries should have been protected... you should maybe grow them specifically for that on a special Christmas tree farm.

    Seems like it was kind of a risk to their house anyway. They are probably happy to get rid of it for insurance purposes. That monster would have destroyed their house given the right storm/situation.
