Two million festive lights on Europe's tallest Christmas tree were switched on Saturday night. The tree in Bucharest, Romania is 21-stories high.

A local girl got the honor of flicking the switch. Fireworks then lit up the night sky. The mayor says he's glad the event is being held in his city. 300 people and 25 trucks spent two months mounting and decorating the tree which will remain lit until January.
