It’s been a rough year. Our world was turned upside down.
You may feel like how I arrived here two weeks ago.
I feel you.
But remember one thing: If *I* can do this, so can YOU.
Now go make it happen.

The internet sees a picture of me from a bad angle.
"THE TREE IS SO UGLY AND SO 2020."
The internet finds out I helped foster a small owl in me.
"AW HOW CUTE THE TREE IS AMAZING."
Ya'all so predictable.
What do you mean I won't be lit up until 10pm?!
I'm 90 years old.
Let's do it at 8 so we can all go to bed at 8:10 and be asleep by 8:20.
You're welcome, America.
My ghost writer
@MattHaze
would just like to take a moment and say he's thankful for YOU and supporting this silly little account. You rock. He thanks you kindly. He's such a sap. The wine wrote this tweet.
YAAAAAS! IT WORKED! I AM LIT! 🎄
CHRISTMAS STARTS NOW!⛄

Yes, they're adding branches to me.
I'm getting extensions.
So what?
Who in New York City hasn't had a little work done?
(anyone that says "not me" is lyyyyiiiiing)
🚨🚨 BREAKING: The National Christmas Tree has toppled over in today’s winds.
This is the tree on the White House Ellipse set to be lit up in Thursday.
@deliangoncalves
on the way to the scene for live report soon on
@wusa9
If I see one more "The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is so 2020" tweet, I'm packing up and taking my talents to some small midwest town that has a cute town square and gazebo that's used the same nativity display for years and will be THEIR tree. Don't make me!
A quick note before ya'all get jolly on egg nog.
My human assistant, the man who writes me,
@MattHaze
, just wants to say THANK YOU.
It's crazy to think that people actually enjoy this silly thing he does.
Yet he's grateful you're here.
Yes, even
@alroker
.
Merry Christmas.
Deal is done.
Contract is signed.
Ready to be the world's biggest holiday icon.
Just a few weeks away.
Anyone who leaks my current location to the press will find coal in their stocking this year.
I have to look good 16 hours a day for hundreds of thousands of selfies. You tell dad jokes and point to a weather map on TV for three whole hours. Try doing my job.
That overpriced pumpkin spice concoction you're drinking? Pour it down the drain.
That "sexy" whatever-it-is costume you bought that doesn't look anything like whatever-it-is? Trash it.
Why?
It's pine time.
Let's go.
BOOM! I’M LIT! 🎄
CHRISTMAS STARTS RIGHT NOW! ⛄

Three months from today, your favorite fir will be starting his rigorous preparation to become the World’s Most Famous Christmas Tree.
Yes. You asked. I listened. I’ll be tweeting this year.
Until then, keep grilling. Your backyard trees love taking in that burnt burgers air.
it is my first Friday night in New York City.
I want to do some thing amazing, but I’m kind of stuck behind this scaffolding.
Someone bring the party here.
Do I really have to wake up at 6am every morning for the Today show?
Just record me one morning and play that everyday for the rest of the year.
No one will notice.
What do you mean I won't be lit up until 10pm?!
I'm 90 years old.
Let's do it at 8 so we can all go to bed at 8:10 and be asleep by 8:20.
You're welcome.
Before it gets holiday crazy, my writer
@MattHaze
wanted to send a quick note to say THANK YOU.
He appreciates you and your support over the years. It's his honor to try to bring a smile to your face in the craziness of the holiday season.
You, my friend, rock. Happy Holidays!
I'd like to apologize to those visiting today.
We are aware that my lights were not as bright as normal.
Because of the warmer temperatures, we had to dim them because I just got too darn hot.
I mean, I know I'm hot in general, but literally I was burning up.
Thank you.

I will not give any interviews to media outlets that continue to mention my age or weight.
It's not okay to talk about Santa's weight, but it's okay for a tree?
Rude.
I AM MORE THAN MY STATS.
"Worst tree I’ve ever seen!"
"The tree is up, but people don't love it."
"The tree is the exact representation of how 2020 has been..."
I'm sure your exes thought the same thing when they saw you before you were up and getting ready for the day.
I'm not done yet.
Haters.
Someone from NBC News just brought down a bottle of vodka, snuck it past security and poured it into my stand.
"A little thank you from us."
Oh it's about to get merry and bright here.
This guy has been staring at me like this for the last 5 minutes. Looking for any bulbs that might be out. I appreciate the help. But so awkward.

The man who writes my tweets
@MattHaze
Would like to wish you a happy new year. This might be the couple glasses of wine he’s already consumed talking, but the greeting is still heartfelt.
It's been a pretty rough month for the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. It was just chilling in someone's front yard minding its own business. Now, it's been cut down and people around the world are mocking it for being ratty-looking. 😭❤️
For those complaining about the Ravens-Steelers game starting in the afternoon so I can shine on primetime TV Wednesday night, you were also the ones tweeting how awful I looked just a week ago.
Payback is a youknowwhat.
Thank U, next.

I know there's a lot going on.
So much uncertainty in the world again.
It feels like déjà vu a bit.
But just remember... You are strong. You are awesome. You are more powerful than you realize.
Do your part.
We will get through this together.
The good news:
@alroker
is back in studio after his surgery and we're all happy to see him doing well.
The bad news: He now wakes me up when he arrives at 5am with the same energy of a kid on Christmas morning.
I don't have any gifts under me for you, buddy.
Ugh.
Got in a bit of trouble this morning.
I wasn't awake for the start of the Today show.
I didn't know they did it on Saturdays.
I always sleep in on a Saturday.
Why would anyone be awake that early on a Saturday?
Humans are weird.
I spent two days on the back of a flatbed truck in the pouring rain and you're complaining I look rough after being there for like 2 minutes?
Humans act like everything needs to be perfect all the time. Ya'all should post pics of yourselves the second you wake up in the morning.
It's closing time.
It's time for me to go.
This year wasn't the same. But we still had fun.
I hope my transformation this year showed you that anything is possible.
Use that as the inspiration for the change you want to see in your own life.

They found a small owl inside of this year’s Rockefeller Christmas tree, he hitched a ride all the way to NYC and is now being treated and cared for at a wildlife rehab facility.
There's this guy who has been putting up my lights named Todd.
He has a 5 year old daughter who expects him to put up a tree just like me at their home in Queens.
I told him to tell her that I'M their tree this year. He can even hide a present for her under me.

As we wrap up the year, my writer
@MattHaze
just wants to say THANK YOU for playing along!
If you enjoyed my posts, you can buy him a coffee or two, which fuels his creativity and keeps baristas employed. He thanks you!!
I can't believe I actually have to tweet this (actually, I can)...
This is a parody account.
Not everything you read on here, or the internet, is true.
If you really believe a tweeting Christmas tree, please get off of twitter and go talk to real humans IRL.
Thank you.
Please let my lights work. Please let my lights work. Please let my lights work. Please let my lights work. Please let my lights work. Please let my lights work. Please let my lights work. Please let my lights work. Please let my lights work.

Now that tree season is over, a note from the tree's writer,
@MattHaze
... (1/3)
THANK YOU for your support of the tree over the years. The fact that you get a kick out of the ridiculousness in my brain still blows me away. I'm just a man with words to share. Thank you so much!
Negotiations are over.
Contract is signed.
The (HUGE) check cleared.
I've reached an agreement to be the most popular Christmas tree in the world.
The journey begins soon.
In the meantime, leave me alone and let me enjoy some peace and quiet.
To all those that said nasty things about me when I arrived: I will gladly accept your apology tweets now.
Also hurry up, Roker, you're holding up traffic.
