The Human Christmas Tree

A "singing human" Christmas tree set up at a Christian retreat here has begun performing carols in the lead-up to Christmas.

The tree is actually a lit-up 7-story pyramid standing about 7-meters high and is illuminated in the garden of the Megumi Chalet Karuizawa.

The tree was a gift from a church in the United States and setting it up in the garden cost about 2 million yen.

Over the weekend, about 40 people formed a choir dressed in red gowns and lined up along the various stories of the Christmas tree. The choir sang carols such as "Silent Night" together with local residents who came to watch them. Link
