Good morning on this slushy Tuesday.

What goes up must come down.

The city said goodbye this weekend to the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center.

But even though the holidays are over, the 94-foot-tall Norway spruce will continue adding light to New Yorkers’ lives.

For the 10th straight year, the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree has been donated to Habitat for Humanity and will be used in the building of homes for struggling families that need affordable housing, or for people who lost their homes in natural disasters. The wood has gone to places such as upstate New York and Pascagoula, Miss.

Anayeli Talamante remembers her first trip to see the spectacular conifer beside the ice skating rink. She was 17. Five years later, she is moving with her family into a house in Newburgh, N.Y., that was partly built with wood from last year’s tree.
