National Christmas Tree

Posted on 21:03 by rendy orton
There are a lot of great Christmas trees, but only one can claim to be THE National Christmas Tree. It's right by the White House, and I went with some friends to check it out tonight. We had a pretty good turnout, and the tree looked pretty good. Granted, the lights appear to be on some sort of netting that is draped over the tree, but it's still cool. Plus, they have all the smaller trees around for each state and territory of the Union, so it's fun to go around and look for your state's tree.Also, there's a little Santa's workshop and you can go in and get your picture with the jolly fellow. None of us sat on his knee, though, because that'd just seem a tiny bit creepy.
