The Christmas tree was further adorned with toys like a pink pig by the name of Priscilla and another pig named Percival. Both of these pigs with riders on them moved round and round the Christmas tree and became very popular especially among the kids. In the year 1990, the ride was taken to the Festival of trees, but was brought back to the original place in the year 2004.
The tree is about 75 feet in height and is adorned with a number of wiring, Christmas lights, Christmas decorations, Christmas ornaments and a number of strobe lights. The Rich's Christmas tree is further illuminated with a lighted snowflake tree topper, which is about seven feet in diameter. Numerous aspirin bottles as well as hundred of gallons of water are required every day for keeping the tree fresh.
On every thanksgiving night during the time period of 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM, the Rich's Christmas tree is lighted up and is simultaneously sired on WSB-TV 2. Along with the lighting up of the Rich's Christmas tree, many Christmas carols are sung by many musical personalities and one among these carols is at least chimed by the bell choir. “O Holy Night” is played while Christmas tree is lighted up and the tree is lit up every night till New Year's Eve.
