Portland’s Christmas tree — a 55-foot blue spruce donated by Lori and Allan Huff of South Portland — was delivered to Monument Square on Thursday.
It’ll get a makeover in the next few days, and its 1,500 LED lights will be flipped on during the annual tree lighting ceremony, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 25 — the day after Thanksgiving — in an event produced by Portland’s Downtown District.
