Christmas in Washington
FamilyHost_Meredith - December 28, 2008
The local radio stations play a song called "Christmas Eve in Washington" and it really brings it home for the locals what a great and historic place they get to call home.

Did anyone get a chance to visit Washington for Christmas Eve or the rest of the holiday season?

I imagine it is beautiful, and I'd love to hear about it from anyone who had the chance to experience it. What is the song about?

By BroncosDad
The song actually has its own website. I don't know if the artist has done anything else musically but this song is all the rage during Christmastime:

Since temps were in the 60's(!) this weekend, we wandered down to check out the National Christmas tree.

Here's a picture of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. It is right next to the White House (the West Wing is to the right of the building).

The National Christmas Tree is on the Ellipse just south of the White House. It is surrounded by smaller trees representing each of the 50 states and territories.

The little trees have ornaments created by residents of the states.

The state's sign tells you who made the ornaments.

The big Christmas tree has a number of train sets running around the base.

There are three different 'town" scenes. There are also some trains that run around the tree. And a few that go along the perimeter of the grassy area.
