Macy's Great Tree
(WSB Radio) -- Thousands of people braved the cold to witness the 62nd annual lighting of Macy's Great Tree at Lenox Square in Buckhead.
This year's tree, a 25-year-old, 70 foot white pine from Paulding County, is decorated with hundreds of ornaments and thousands of lights.
The holiday tradition of lighting the Great Tree on Thanksgiving night began in 1948 at the old Rich's Department Store in downtown Atlanta.

True americana...how I miss it so.
