TOKYO -- For those seeking a glow to their Christmas this year, a jewelry store in downtown Tokyo has just the answer: a pure gold revolving "tree" covered in Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Tinker Bell and Cinderella.

The tree-like ornament is made of 88 pounds of pure gold, standing nearly 8 feet high and 3 feet in diameter. It is decorated with pure gold-plate silhouette cutouts of 50 popular Disney characters and draped with ribbons made of gold leaf.

That's an obscene amount of money for a Christmas tree, even if it's beautiful... just think of how many starving children could benefit from that amount of cash.

Most valuable tree in the world. I don't think that's good news...

That's true unfortunately. So many people are starving and they spend so much money in a tree. It's not fair :(
