The world is already in full swing preparing for the upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays! For example, a Christmas tree has already been installed at London St Pancras Station. Moreover, not an ordinary forest beauty, grown specifically for these purposes somewhere in the forestry, but collected by hand spruce from LEGO bricks.
A Christmas tree should be in every home! And it doesn't matter if this is a real tree or its substitute, assembled from scrap materials. Examples of the latter include a Christmas tree installation made from shopping baskets in a shopping center in Santa Monica, California, a Tesla coil Christmas tree, or many other homemade trees.
Here at St. Pancras Station in London, they also created a very unusual, original LEGO Christmas tree. It was made, as it is not difficult to guess from the name, from LEGO bricks.
The construction of the Lego Christmas tree took almost three weeks - this process began on November 4, and the opening took place on the 24th of the same month. The festive lighting was turned on only on December 1, a month before the New Year.
This extraordinary tree consists of 600 thousand LEGO bricks, making up 172 separate pieces, which were then connected to each other using a steel rod. It took 1200 toys, also made from a construction set, to decorate this "tree". These toys were created by London schoolchildren, who gladly took part in such a grandiose and fun project. The LEGO Christmas tree is 11 and a half meters high and weighs almost 3 tons.
The creation of the LEGO Christmas tree was fully funded by LEGO. All participants in this process received gifts from her, and the main workers also received royalties.
The LEGO Christmas tree will stay in the lobby of St. Pancras station for more than a month - until January 4th, 2012. Moreover, in a year this unusual spruce will be harvested again, in the same place. Goodness should not be lost!

Ghosts of Christmas. Christmas tree installation by Michael Neff
Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Story" tells how the ghosts of Christmas come to the reclusive curmudgeon Ebinazer Scrooge on the night before the main Christian holiday, which takes him to the past, present and future. New York artist Michael Neff, on the other hand, calls the felled Christmas trees scattered throughout the city after the holidays are "ghosts of Christmas".

Every December, hundreds of paper cranes flock to San Francisco to decorate the world's most hopeful tree.

Christmas in the Romanov family: a groom tied to a Christmas tree and other royal gifts
