Christmasy Wall Street

This holiday season, Wall Street is done up in lights and Christmas decorations. The New York Stock Exchange facade is illuminated in green lights this year. In front of the New York Stock Exchange is a 45-foot high Norway Spruce Christmas tree adorned with 3,500 white LED lights, 1,000 multi-colored balls with the NYSE Euronext logo and a 6’ star on top, all supported on an 8’ x 10’ base fashioned as a gold box. The NYSE holiday tree has been Downtown Manhattan tradition since 1923 and is one of the most visited attractions during the holidays.
