Rockefeller Center lights tree in annual ceremony

The Associated Press

I watched the lighting thing on NBC tonight, despite the fact I never watched it back in New York and like all things west coast, Live here means Live (from a previously recorded broadcast). Even just on screen it's an impressive looking thing, and makes me wish I was back in the city. I've heard SF has a tree, but I've yet to see it and I'm fair sure it doesn't measure up.

Oh, one of the many pointless performances was the Jonas Brothers. Yes, I know. The remote was out of reach. There's three of them, one of whom only sings. The singer was not the lead vocalist on the song they performed. Something is wrong with that.
