The holiday tree in Tompkins Square Park is now completely dark

Workers were seen yesterday in Tompkins Square Park working on the Tompkins Square Park holiday tree. (Top photo by Steven!

As noted on Sunday, the Parks Department allegedly forgot to wire the tree before the tree lighting ceremony... and so organizers had to scramble to hire an electrician at the last minute. That work helped light two-thirds of the tree.

Now, the tree is completely dark... Merry Christmas from NYC!

I don't get it. The lights were left on the tree all year. They couldn't just be plugged in?

They were busy chopping trees on the East River

What do you expect? We live in a disgusting, litter-filled, noisy frat, heroin scum, nowhere to bike, nowhere to park a car, people on top of each other disgusting hellhole when life is so much more chill and normal for the rest of the country. Why does anyone live in this nightmare?

de Blasio is working overtime to say "fuck you" to every citizen of this city in as many ways as possible.

I don't get it why did they not leave the lights on the tree at least until Christmas day and then until New Year's day? I mean that is the whole point of placing lights on a Pine tree isn't it?

I happen to love the BROKEN CROOKED XMAS TREE just the way it is. Maybe it will catch on fire next.

Hooray! The TSP Christmas Tree is now fully lighted from top to bottom tonight, December 17th. Our tall, skinny tree may be a bent carrot, but aren't we proud to be a little bent here in the East Village? Happy Holidays to all, even the rats!!!
