This year's Christmas tree completed its journey from Yule Tree Farms in New York to City Hall Wednesday morning.
The 50-foot, 55-year-old Abie Concolor/White Fir was welcomed with Christmas carols as it arrived on a flatbed truck.
The tree will be hoisted into position Wednesday evening in preparation for the annual tree lighting ceremony on December 5.
