Special Christmas Tree Arrives from Nova Scotia

Christmas Tree in Boston Common - Massachusetts State House in BackgroundA very special Christmas tree arrives on Boston Common on November 16, 2012 - by tradition, the first official tree to be set up each year in the city.  Look for it near the Visitors Information Center on Tremont Street.  It's always the star of the Boston Common Holiday Lighting Ceremony.

Although Boston fills up with displays of beautiful Christmas trees throughout November and December, the most special tree of all is this Christmas tree proudly displayed on Boston Common.  Citizens of Nova Scotia send a huge, beautiful tree to the people of Boston every year in remembrance of Boston's help after a horrific explosion of a munitions ship in Halifax Harbor on December 6, 1917 killed almost 2,000 people and injured another 9,000.  Within 24 hours of the disaster, a train loaded with supplies and emergency personnel from Boston arrived in Nova Scotia - the first outside help to reach the disaster scene, and the last to leave.
