OH CHRISTMAS TREE!
The Christmas Tree that is headed to Washington D.C. stopped for an hour visit one block from my work place. I could see it through the window. The town had a festive little greeting and local kids brought their home-made ornaments to send along the way. The mayor gave a muffled speech, but I couldn't stop and listen because I only ran over to take a picture and a peak.
When I peered into the back of the semi, the tree was wrapped up pretty tight for its trip and you could only see the very tip of the evergreen branches.
It might be passing through your town or city. Wave!!
Capitol Christmas Tree Arriving from Washington State
A 65-foot Pacific silver fir cut from the Olympic National Forest will serve as the U.S. Capitol Christmas tree.
The tree, which was cut down Wednesday, will be taken on a festive road tour in Washington State before traveling to D.C.
It will be decorated with more than 3,000 ornaments made by students in Washington State, and will have 10,000 lights.
The tree will be lighted on December sixth by House Speaker Dennis Hastert on the west lawn of Capitol Hill, facing the Washington Monument.
