Brussels Christmas tree

The Brussels Christmas tree (French: Sapin de Noël de Bruxelles; Dutch: Kerstboom van Brussel) is a Christmas tree erected annually on the Grand-Place/Grote Markt (main square) of Brussels, Belgium. It has traditionally been a real tree either from the Ardennes forest, from the city of Helsinki or from different countries as diplomatic gift, except in 2012 when it was replaced with an abstract sculpture.
