The Visit Philadelphia Holiday tree @ Cityhall
The Visit Philadelphia Holiday Tree is a 60-year-old white fir standing 50 feet tall. It is adorned with more than 5,000 linear feet of lights and more than a dozen handcrafted ornaments. Two new Black Lives Matter ornaments have been added to the tree this year signifying the city's belief in social justice. The tree-topper is a 130-pound Liberty Bell. The base was created by artist David Korins, known for his work as set designer of Hamilton. (6abcnews)
Holiday tree at Rittenhouse Sq.
December is the month of decoration and celebration. Although it all starts with the same tradition ( tree lighting ceremony), each spot has their own style.
This holiday tree is quite small, and only decorated and lit by one color of lights. But it looked glowing and on fire after rain showers.

The annual tradition of lighting a national tree dates back to December 24, 1923, when President Calvin Coolidge pressed a button that lit up more than 2,500 light bulbs strung around a 60-ft.-tall balsam fir tree from his home state of Vermont—reportedly personally felled in “the heart of the Green Mountains” by Middlebury College’s President Paul D. Moody and shipped express to Washington by the school’s alumni.
This year's(2020) tree is a 60-year-old white fir from Yule Tree Farms in New York that's more than 50 feet tall. For the holidays, it will be decorated with multi-color lights and painted ornaments. Two ornaments honoring the Black Lives Matter movement in Philadelphia and across the country are included this year.

Antropologie decoration
Decoration is the best way to bring the magic of season to life.
The biggest one is the Christmas and New Year's decoration.
Nowadays, decoration is not only full with colors, garlands, tree and glass ornament. The decoration above is one of the decorations that go out and beyond.
