National Flag & Banner produces custom banners for 2013 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.

For more than 20 years, the tree was part of the everyday life for the Vargoshe family at their Connecticut home. Now they are sharing the 76-foot-tall piece of their family with the world, as it will serve as the tree that will illuminate Rockefeller Center for the 81st time this year. The 12-ton Norway spruce, which is 76 feet tall, 47 feet in diameter, and approximately 75 years old, arrived at Rockefeller Plaza in preparation for the annual lighting ceremony that will be held on Dec. 4. The Vargoshe couple, Louise and John, and sons Nathan, 15, and Noah, 12, made the trip from their home in Shelton, Conn., to Rockefeller Plaza to say goodbye to their tree one last time.
