What I wrote thereFold it away

The New York Public Library broke hearts when it announced the lobby Christmas tree would take an unexpected hiatus. Locals awaited with bated breath for better news in 2023 and thankfully one of the most popular Christmas trees in New York City made a triumphant return, same for 2024. Full of snow owls, red cardinals and gigantic pine cones, the tree is a masterpiece!
