Whether it's the twinkling lights, fresh pine scent or excitement of hanging your favorite ornament, there's no doubt that Christmas trees are certainly a holiday tradition that's worth the extra cost. In fact, even though many Americans are trying to cut back this holiday season, early reports are showing that tree sales are holding steady to those of last
year.
Meeting destinations across the country certainly recognize the magic of a glowing Christmas tree, and each year city trees seem to get bigger and better. What better way to add some cheer to your holiday events than to host a wintertime meeting in one of these festive locations?
Los Angeles, CA
The Los Angeles area is home to a number of Christmas trees, from the 52-foot-tall digital Christmas tree at the plaza outside the Nokia Center to the 96-foot-tall tree at the Costa Mesa mall. Certainly one of the LA stars, though, is the 110-foot tree at The Grove at Farmer's Market. Usually broadcast to televisions across the nation, the lighting of this LA favorite is spectacular event, accompanied with snowfall and fireworks.
Washington, DC
The Capitol Christmas Tree in Washington, DC has been a tradition since Calvin Coolidge's presidency in 1923. Though the tradition has certainly evolved over the years, from the original 24-foot-tall Douglas fir to this year's 70-foot-tall subalpine fir, the sparkle this tree adds to your events in DC remains unchanged. With hundreds of ornaments and thousands of LED lights, the tree is a shining beacon of holiday cheer on the U.S. Capitol's west lawn.
Charleston, SC
Did you know it was a Charleston native that first discovered and cultivated the red flowering plant known as the Poinsettia? Since this iconic symbol of Christmas can be found all over the city, there's no need for real Christmas flora. Charleston, rather, boasts a 60-foot tree in Marion Square made entirely of lights.
New York, NY
Probably one of the most famous Christmas trees in the country is that of New York City's Rockefeller Center. The iconic tree is required to be, at a minimum 65 feet tall and 35 feet wide, and this year's 72-foot Norway spruce certainly makes the cut. The impressive holiday beacon shines with 30,000 energy-efficient LED lights on five miles of wire, and is topped off with a 750-pound star made of Swarovski cyrstals.
