Something new has been added to New York's skyline this holiday season, and we at TIME take special pride in it. This jolly Christmas tree shining 630 feet above Manhattan's streets is our version of an old-world tradition, the "topping out" of a new house with a broom or small tree.

He follows them, with cries of pride and lamentation, from their hexagonal cradles to their grave in the grass...
