another article i read..said it's all but officially going to be the tree.

an unamned source in the hamilton police dept. said that starting today they have been privately contracted to do 24 hour survelience on the tree to keep possible vandals away from it.

How exciting. I have always wanted to see New York at Christmastime. It must be amazing. :merrytree:
