#255 - Don't Like My Over Judging

88th Annual Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting

We're always game for a little Christmas distraction. But it all felt a little odd.

Don and I whined that we were watching the same people from the Macy's Parade 6 days ago, We were bothered by the crowd-less atmosphere. We are such complainers these days. 

We critiqued the performers more than usual. We fast forwarded through boring parts. We griped about Kelly Clarkson's eye shadow and Meghan Trainer's massive green bow. We wondered why Gwen Stefani's dancers didn't have to wear masks when other dancers did.

The Rockettes all wore sparkly masks. We wondered who made that decision. 

We did not complain one bit, when the Pentatonix sang Amazing Grace. They are incredible. We also didn't complain when they lit the tree.

75-foot Norway spruce with 50,000 LED lights and a 900-pound star. The crazy part is that the gorgeous tree looked absolutely horrible, when I spotted it in the news a couple weeks ago.

Ugly Tree. Sweet Surprise

It was the largest Charlie Brown Tree, imaginable. But there was a sweet little prize hiding in the branches.

This tiny owl was secretly transported along with the tree. I'm not sure where he is now, but he was carefully rescued. I'm also not sure how they plumped up that tree, but I pretty much love holiday stories like this!
