Was the Rockefeller Tree an Ugly Duckling?

Remember when the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree was catching flak for not being the most attractive tree ever? Well, it looks as if the tree was an ugly duckling that grew into a beautiful swan. (Of course, he was a swan all along!)

With the Tweet from the 30RockTree account, one is dared to call the tree ugly again (as images of Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction pop into my head).

It appears that the tree has finally "filled out" like the long-necked, orthodontic-braced 15-year-old does at some point during college.

Kudos to the workers at the Rockefeller Center who surely worked some magic on this tree! Watch for the lighting on NBC come December 2th.
