The "Magic Tree" is a 30 foot tall creation put together by a man in Columbia who spends over 100 hours each year wrapping each individual branch of this tree with christmas lights. There are 68,500 individual lights on the tree. The tree is powered by a total of eleven 20 amp circuits, 8 of them dedicated to the tree. It is plugged into 19 outlets with 19 extension cords running from the tree. These pictures do not even begin to do justice to what it looks like in real life, but I thought I'd put them up anyway because even in the pictures it's pretty amazing.
