Boston Christmas Tree
The Boston Christmas Tree is the City of Boston, Massachusetts's official Christmas tree. A tree has been lit each year since 1941,〔 and since 1971 it has been given to the people of Boston by the people of Nova Scotia in thanks for their assistance during the 1917 Halifax Explosion. The tree is lit in the Boston Common throughout the Christmas season.
==Halifax explosion==
On December 6, 1917 at 9 am, the Halifax Explosion severely destroyed much of the city. Boston authorities learned of the disaster by telegraph, and quickly organized and dispatched a relief train around 10 pm to assist survivors. A blizzard delayed the train, which finally arrived in the early morning of December 8, and immediately began distributing food, water, and medical supplies. Numerous personnel on the train were able to relieve the Nova Scotia medical staff, most of whom had worked without rest since the explosion occurred. Nova Scotian children study the explosion in school and they know "Boston was one of the first responders, and really a lifesaver."〔〔
