The world's largest Christmas tree is located in Italy.
The tree is 650 metres (2,130 ft) high and 350 metres wide at its base and consists of 3,000 multi-colored lights and 8.5 kilometres of electrical cable, placed all the way up the slopes of Monte which towers above the city.
The illumination can be seen up to 30 miles away, the tree was lit up last night as it has been every year since 1981 on the 7th of December and is all organised by volunteers every year.
Merry Christmas 🎄

The Northern Lights May Be Visible Over the U.S. and UK Tonight.
A geomagnetic storm is set to send the northern lights rippling through the dark tonight, in an event so active it’s predicted the aurora is likely to be seen far further south than Greenland and Iceland or Alaska.
Known as the ‘Merry Dancers’ in Scotland, the aurora borealis might also be seen in UK–as far south as the English Midlands.
The intensity of this week’s northern lights is, according to meteorologists, because of a solar flare which recently sent charged particles towards our planet in huge numbers, and the strong solar wind coming from the geomagnetic storm.
