375meters tall!!???

When driving to and from my ex husbands we go past a lovely town called IJsselstein, I did not know it was such a nice town till I met a gentleman from there and got to see some of the sites.
Every Christmas at a sending towers in the city they put Christmas lights it looks amazing and it lights up the nights sky, I live a 20minute drive from it and as soon as I hit the highway I can see it's lights.
It was not till I met that fine young gentleman that I knew how to drive to the 375 meter tall Christmas tree with 121 lamps and it was really worth it!
Daughter screaming all the way from home till we got there "Mum, mum mum I see the lights mum mum mum in that direction." Just about smacking me in the face as she swings her hand in the direction of the lights, in front of me as I drive. We got there safe and we took pictures though I have not loaded them onto my computer as yet.
My little monsters jaw dropped to the ground as we stood in front of the sending tower and looked up, she was amazed with how big it was, All in all it was a lovely drive and adventure.
I like to translate something small from the website and thank you to the person for the website : It says (about the fact it is the biggest Xmas-ornament, not biggest Xmas tree): The level of green in this is probably the cause of that... (that it is not the biggest Xmas-tree that is)

Tree... ornament...? Who cares, it looks great.
2007 for you has been a mixed year in many ways, but there certainly has been some great moments in it and so my wish for you Tracey, is that 2008 is even better in every way.
Much love.
