The Christmas tree was cut in a forest in Oslo Tuesday Nov. 24, 2009 and will be given a gentle transport to ensure the needles stay on the tree and remain green. Each year since 1947, a Christmas tree has been given to the people of London from the people of Norway in gratitude for Britain's support for Norway during World War II.(AP Photo/Morten Holm / Scanpix)
