The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree recently rolled into NYC and people are now comparing it to the Christmas tree from A Charlie Brown Christmas. You know, the sad-looking tree that everyone yells at Charlie Brown for picking instead of the nicer-looking ones. A lot of people, however, are saying that the tree is fitting for the 2020 year.
The official Twitter account for the Rockefeller Center responded to the criticism, saying, “Wow, you all must look great right after a two-day drive, huh? Just wait until I get my lights on! See you on December 2!”

Some people are feeling a bit more optimistic despite the Charlie Brown tree appearance. One person responds, “I find it a little plucked, the Rockefeller Christmas tree, this year. Well it matches with 2020. Hopefully the decorations will be a good camouflage.”
The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree display has been an annual tradition since 1933. It is typically located beneath 30 Rock, between West 48th and West 51st Streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues. One good thing to come out of this story, though? A little friend.
