‘Tis the season for holiday cheer, which is most prominently signified by the most famous of all Christmas trees. But since the tree at Rockefeller Center is a little too far away, head on down to the Ellipse for a glimpse of the National Christmas Tree, which will be lit Thursday night. Tickets are already sold out for the ceremony, but grab a cup of hot chocolate and a gingerbread man and take a stroll to see the twinkling lights this weekend.
