Kansas Mayor's Christmas Tree 2026 Crisis ALMOST Explained

Because we don't want any of our boomer friends getting a heart attack from FB conversation, we wanted to help explain one of the many faux controversies to keep the 70s-set scrolling adverts for Chinese junk.

About the ugly KC tree that has generated thousands of comments in a few different forums. One local explained . . .  

"They truly believe this nonsense. Never mind that it’s been delivered exactly like this for many decades . . ."

Here's the word and some insight into the process given that www.TonysKansasCity.com has also indulged in Christmas tree complaints over the years . . .  

"OK, well I THOUGHT everybody was in on the joke about our tree being so sparse when the pix and videos first started going around of the tree raising this year, but apparently not. Our tree almost always looks like this at the raising. The majority of the branches are taken off of the tree during transport and put back on. That's not what what the tree looks like when they're done with it as evidenced by the pic here, and any other year if you look up the tree or have seen it in person. The KC tree is one of the largest trees in the country every year. This tree was 130 feet tall, and was dropped down to 100 feet tall. Our tree is 24 taller than the Rockefeller Center tree this year and will weigh nearly 20,000 pounds when they're finished with it."
