Four years ago, I wrote about the world’s most famous Christmas tree; the one that graces Rockefeller Center in New York City. In 2016 the tree was an 80-year-old Norway Spruce from Oneonta, New York. This year’s tree is from West Oneonta – just yards from the chapel that hosted our wedding reception. Its branches were wrapped up tight for the journey and the tree was cut down last week before it made a two-day journey to the Big Apple. Somewhere along the way, a tiny northern saw-whet owl was discovered hiding in the bundled evergreen boughs. The bewildered bird was taken to the Ravensbeard Wildlife Center in Saugerties, NY, where he was given fluids and all the mice he can eat. He’ll be released as soon as his vet gives the okay. Meanwhile, his former home is being decorated in preparation for the virtual (no in-person spectators allowed) tree lighting ceremony a week from today.
