Dhabi has a $11,000,000 Christmas tree
Tourists view Christmas tree
Tourists view the Christmas tree which has been decked out with dollars 11 million U.S. (14.3 million euro) worth of gold, at the Emirates Palace hotel, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on Thursday Dec. 16, 2010. The hotel's general manager, Hans Olbertz, was quoted in local newspapers Thursday as saying the 43-foot (13-meter) faux fir has 131 ornaments that include gold and precious stones including diamonds and sapphires. The $11 million symbol of the season has become the latest extravagance at the Emirates Palace hotel, which boasts its own marina, heliport and a vending machine that pops out small gold bars

4. Wonder how much of our tax dollars went towards that tree.
Shut up and pay your fair share like you want everyone else too.
And they wonder why we think our govt spends too much.

That sounds like an awesome Christmas tree. Wish I could see something like that in person.

That Christmas tree is in Dubai and that is a Muslim country. The Muslims there don't mind Christmas, unlike Muslims in America, along with moonbats. :fuelfire:

Abu Dhabi is a pretty nice city. A jewel among the stones of the middle east. And there are TONS of US Dollars there, along with Euros and the rest. It's an oil town.

Garfield would always send Nermal to Abu Dhabi.

STFU retard. How many tax dollars? For a Christmas tree in freaking Dubai? I'm gonna ballpark that at, oh, 0. It's in a hotel that caters to the ultra-wealthy, I'm sure they charge enough in their room rates to pay for it themselves.
Go give the person who reminds you to breathe the night off.

$11,000,000!?!
Imagine how many people you could feed for that or how many people could live off that. I find it a tad ridiculous they spent THAT much on a tree, but hey it is their money to waste.

The Christmas tree was unveiled at Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi last week to boost the holiday mood of its guest and attract tourists’ attention. The tree was adorned with gold, silver, gems and precious stones including rubies and diamonds from a hotel jeweler.
It is a truly Clark Griswold/Tim Tayloresque display of badassery in Christmas decoration
