The tree is the centrepiece of the lobby. The tree is even better close up. You can admire the individual decorations. I liked the snow-capped roof and the arched windows on the model building.
I wonder how many people spent how many hours decorating the tree.
The official Xmas tree light up is on Sunday, November 27th, the last weekend in November.
Legend says that Xmas trees were originally brought into homes in Germany and northern Europe in the darkest months and used as supports for candles. (A bit of a fire risk. Nowadays, for convenience and safety, we have artificial trees and electric lights with circuit breakers.)
The event will include Santa Claus posing for photos with children and families. (Judging by last year, you may have to queue - Americans say line up.) Members can also expect light refreshments and entertainment from a choir and stilt walkers.
