Christmas in a gloomy WashingtonIt has been a bit gloomy as of late, here in Washington, D.C.. The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree seems to be trying to project some holiday cheer into that gloom. It is a beautiful tree this year. The 2024 Capitol Christmas Tree is an 80-foot Sitka spruce from Wrangell District Region in Alaska's Tongass National Forest. It was a long journey getting the tree to D.C., requiring travel both by boat and by truck. Of course, the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree is not the only Christmas tree in D.C. Here is a photo of the Norwegian Christmas Tree in Union Station. The tree is an annual gift from the people of Norway to the United States. The gift has been a tradition since 1997 and it lights up the interior of Union Station quite nicely. Happy holidays everyone!
