A Christmas Tree
Fashion Island
Newport Beach, California

Each year the Fashion Island Shopping Center here in Newport Beach, California, like many others around the country, decorates a large Christmas Tree for the Christmas and Holiday Season.

This year the tree, which was harvested in an environmentally sensitive manner from Mount Shasta, California, tops out at 115 feet tall.  It weighs 20,000 pounds and is decorated with 17,000 lights, ornaments, bows and other decorations. 

Once again this year, The Fashion Island Christmas Tree has been proclaimed the tallest decorated Christmas Tree in America surpassing those at Rockefeller Center, The White House and other locations well known for their tall decorated Christmas Trees. 

More importantly, it is simply a beautiful site to see both during the day and at night.  As can be seen here, it towers above the palm trees and multi-story buildings surrounding it and simply can't be missed if you are in anywhere in the area.

It is always exciting to see them putting it up before Thanksgiving in anticipation of the coming grandeur and sad to see it come down after New Year's.
