Trafalgar Square Authority in conjunction with the charity Unicef, who began ticketing the event to control crowd numbers. A Christmas ceremony has been held in the square every year since 1947. A Norway spruce (or sometimes a fir) is presented by Norway's capital city, Oslo as London's Christmas tree, a token of gratitude for Britain's support during World War II. (Besides war-time support, Norway's Prince Olav and the country's government lived in exile in London throughout the war.) The Christmas tree is decorated with lights that are switched on at a seasonal ceremony. It is usually held twelve days before Christmas Day.
Pluto's Christmas Tree Pluto's Christmas Tree Pluto's Christmas Tree is a 1952 Mickey Mouse cartoon in which Pluto and Mickey cut down a Christmas tree that Chip n' Dale live in. It is notable as one of the few Disney shorts directed by Jack Hannah not to star Donald Duck, although Donald does make a cameo at the end. Mickey and Pluto are searching for a Christmas tree, while Chip and Dale are looking for acorns in the forest. Once the squirrels see Pluto, they hit him with acorns and scurry from his chasing. Once Pluto is distracted, they hide in a tree.
