PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- It's a festive time in the City of Brotherly Love.



On Monday night, Philadelphia's 55-foot white fir holiday tree was delivered by flatbed truck to City Hall.



Action News anchor Jeanette Reyes was there as it arrived.





After posing for a few pictures, crews began the process of hoisting it into a giant tree stand.



In the coming days, the tree will be decorated and on December 4 it will be lit up.
