Gold Christmas Tree Sells For N662m In Tokyo

Well reports have it that the Gold Christmas tree is covered with Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Tinker Bell and Cinderella and that the tree-like ornament is made of 40 kg (88 pounds) of pure gold, standing about 2.4 meters (7.9 ft) high and 1.2 meters in diameter. It is also decorated with pure gold plate silhouette cutouts of 50 popular Disney characters and draped with ribbons made of gold leaf.
The price tag? A mere 350 million yen ($4.2 million, N662m).

I was talking to someone about the Christmas tree and the person asked me..."Are we going to see Jesus Christ or is he going to speak through the tree?"

While nobody has yet made a down payment on the larger tree, the miniature has already found buyers, Tomoko Ishibashi, in the marketing department of Tanaka Kikinzoku Jewelry, which runs the Ginza Tanaka jewelry store said.
