An important symbol in the book is the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. Throughout the book Molly Parker and Josh Cameron are at the tree sharing a special moment. For example, when Molly and Josh start spending time together for the first time, they are walking down the streets of New York City and stop at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. Then Josh tells Molly the story of him in college, when he met her mother at the tree hours before his NCAA Championship Game. This is the first time that Josh really acts like a father to Molly.
Another time when Josh and Molly are at the tree sharing a special moment is at the end of the book, when Molly goes to New York to see Josh play in the Knicks and Celtics Christmas game. Hours before the game she goes to the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree hoping that Josh would come pick her up so she could live with him and not move to California with her mothers friend, Barbara. After waiting for a long time she decides he is not coming and prepares to leave disappointed. Then Josh finally shows up and they leave with each other.
