November 29th: National Package Protection Day, Electronic Greetings Day, and Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting.

👮‍♀️📦👮National Package Protection Day is to encourages homeowners to stay alert and protect their homes against package theft, which happens more frequently during the holidays. The internet has made it easier to find deals and have packages shipped straight to our homes. But this has also made it easier for thieves to snatch our deliveries right from our doorsteps. With the advent of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there became a need for a day that raises awareness of package theft and helps homeowners protect themselves against thieves. And just like that, Package Protection Day was born. Ring.com founded National Package Protection Day to alert citizens to protect their valuable purchases, especially during the high-traffic holiday season.

🍁Electronic Greetings Day reminds us of how things have changed. The convenience and speed of sending an electronic greeting allow more people than ever to participate in this thoughtful process. While greeting cards continue to be used, electronic greetings are far more cost-effective and mean equally as much. The first electronic greeting card site was The Electric Postcard and was created by Judith Donath in 1994 at the MIT Media Lab.

🎄Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting! Every year since 1933, an evergreen tree plucked from its spot in New York or Vermont, Ohio or Pennsylvania or even Canada, is erected at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. It is trimmed with hundreds of ornaments and thousands of colorful lights and topped with a star and on a selected day after Thanksgiving, it is lit for the world to see. The tree must exceed 65 feet to be selected for the honor of gracing Rockefeller Center. The tallest tree selected was a 100 foot Norway Spruce from Killingworth, Connecticut. Each year the tree is donated to various organizations. In years past, the tree has been ground into mulch and donated to the Boy Scouts of America to be sold to fund projects. Recently, Habitat for Humanity has been a benefactor of the great tree for use in the construction of homes. The tree remains lit until the Christian feast of the Epiphany. The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony has become a national tradition going back to the days of the Great Depression. On Christmas Eve of 1931, a group of construction workers erected a small, Spruce Christmas tree on the site of what would become Rockefeller Center. In Rockefeller Center’s inaugural year, 1933, the first official Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting took place. Since then it has become a national event including skating pageants, live entertainment and television specials. The 2017 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree was cut down in State College, Pa. It was an 80-year-old Norway Spruce weighing between 12 and 13 tons.

My hubby waiting on the package to arrive is my package protection. No really there are arrangements already in place. In the last few years I've done more online shopping that something had to be arranged. I've sent several electronic greetings. I would love to see the Rockefeller Christmas tree from the cutting it down to everything in between the lighting of it. It looks spectacular!

Sending electronic hugs.🐶🐶💕🍂💕🎄 Thanks for the Rockefeller Christmas Tree history! Very interesting.,!! 🌲🎄😊
