This abomination is the 2020 Rockefeller Christmas Tree, because of course it is
· Nov 19, 2020 · NottheBee.com

If this isn't the perfect symbol for Christmas in 2020, I don't know what is.

The annual tradition of placing a large Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, in the heart of New York City, dates back to 1931. But this year's tree looks like he's seen better days.

For reference, here's how it was supposed to look (this was it's pre-lockdown look, no doubt).

Twitter, of course, had jokes for the pathetic evergreen.

And there was no shortage of comparisons to that tree from A Charlie Brown Christmas. Low-hanging baubles.

Ladies and gents, 2020 has its mascot.

The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is all of us, and it is radiant in its dereliction!
