The Norwegian Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square has received a lot of criticism. It has been the biggest reason for making jokes and mockery in recent days. To be laughed at. Reason? Less attractive appearance than in previous years. But wait a minute... let's start from the beginning. How did the Norwegian Christmas tree become an annual attraction in the city center? What does it matter? Why does Norway send a green Christmas tree to Londoners every year? We answer all these questions below! Moreover, we encourage you - if you are passing through London, see the "Norwegian Christmas tree" with your own eyes. 

– where does the tradition of sending a Christmas tree from Norway to London come from?

The Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square is an annual gift from the Norwegians It is a form of remembrance and, above all, thanks for helping London during World War II against tyranny. The British then helped the Norwegians in these difficult war times and did not leave them in need. They still need to send the tree as a symbol of our long friendship. It is just a nice gesture that is cultivated each year. It is true that the idea itself is impressive?

Opinion of the British: The Norwegian Christmas tree is of exceptionally dubious beauty this year ...

  Let's pay attention to the fact that the Christmas tree was placed in the square and from the very beginning it began to arouse great controversy. 24 meters high - the size of the Christmas tree itself British and people who have already had the opportunity to see her live is not enough. The Christmas tree is "skinny" and has many deficiencies in its structure. The Internet is buzzing with cheerful, humorous comments: "the Christmas tree looks like it had a drink." "she looks like after a heavy night's drinking", "she's terrible skinny, kind of poor and impoverished" - Internet users comment indiscriminately. Moreover, there are also users who do not beat around the bush and on their profiles on social networking sites they say directly: "The Christmas tree is simply ugly!"

summarizing

We hope that the Christmas tree will take on a new shine after an appropriate facelift and that the critics, residents of London, and tourists will see it in a different light.
