Rockefeller Center hit back Wednesday after being slammed for the 2020 Christmas Tree’s scraggly appearance.
“Wow, you all must look great right after a two-day drive, huh?” the official Twitter account for Rockefeller Center tweeted in the voice of the 75-foot Norway spruce. The post was noted by the New York Post.
“Just wait until I get my lights on!” the famed center added after being compared to the droopy “Charlie Brown” Christmas tree. (RELATED: Macy’s Cancels 160-Year-Old Christmas Tradition Due To Pandemic)

In 2020, we all get the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree and that’s just how it is.
