Felicia Hanna's home in Elkton, Maryland, is built from lumber sourced from a 2021 Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, marking a special connection between the two. The Price family, who nurtured the tree for decades, donated it to a housing organization that transforms such trees into homes for families. Hanna, who applied for a home in the program, was thrilled to be selected, considering it a lottery win. This unique legacy allows her to cherish the once-celebrated tree's memory while providing for her family.
"It's so special. It's not just a Christmas tree anymore," Hanna told The Post. "We watched that tree on the television in New York City, and now I have it in my home forever."
The 79-foot-tall behemoth had been growing across town on Devon and Julie Price's property until Rockefeller Center's head gardener, Erik Pauzé, came knocking in 2021.
Ultimately, they decided the opportunity was too great to pass up. Around the same time the sprawling behemoth was being adorned with 50,000 lights, Hanna was applying to the housing organization.
"It felt like I won the lottery," Hanna, a pharmacy technician, recalled.
