Hey everyone! It's me — your 2025 #TreeForBsoston.
I had my big haircut this week and I'm feeling pretty spruce.

And yes… Boston’s @MayorWu showed up. For me. I’m trying to stay humble, but it’s hard when you’re 14 metres tall. (That's about 45 feet for my friends down in New England.)

About Last Night!

Last night, the Boston Common sparkled as the 2024 Christmas tree from Nova Scotia (me!) lit up the season!

Thank you, Boston, for welcoming us with such warmth year after year. To everyone who came out, thank you for making the evening so special!

I'm ready for the annual trek to @CityOfBoston for the tree lighting event on Dec. 5. I'm a white spruce tree from Mattie Settlement, Antigonish Co. donated by my owners, Hugh & Liz Ryan, as a thank you to Boston for sending help to N.S. following the Halifax Explosion in 1917.

[Tree for Boston @TreeforBoston]

I'm so excited. Nova Scotian artists Còig and O'Sound will be performing at my tree lighting next week, Nov. 30. I can't wait! It's always a fun time!
