The US$3 billion (€2.25 billion) Wimberley Allison Tong & Goo-designed hotel, infamous for its decadent stunts including a gold-dispensing ATM machine and guests consuming more than 11lb (5kg) of edible gold each year, is now vying for the title of world’s most expensive Christmas tree.

it is really started out of love.. But it has become as business.. People expressing their joy. Sure our celebration should end with sharing... After all the sharing is the ONLY during our expression of love for JESUS.

Let us take this as art and enjoy.. Be happy and help others to be happy... People will love to see this tree..
Don't we have posh building and luxury hotels..Don't we have beautiful dress.. Don't we have delicious food... But still we should share it... Let us have balanced life and let everyone in the world be happy...

It is just a business strategy ………..Jesus never like this,he has born in place where there are no basic facilities.

Instated wasting so much money ,they can rather spend and help to poor and below poverty line people.

Guys
At the end of the day, it is not your money. It is their money and they have a right to spend it their way!
